The Trump administration's decision to cut NIH funding for indirect costs is alarming Bay Area researchers, particularly at UCSF, which received over $789 million in grants in 2023. The cuts will reduce the reimbursement rate for indirect costs from over 60% to 15%, potentially saving the government $4 billion a year but crippling critical research capabilities at top institutions. Experts express concern that this will hinder crucial advancements in health treatments and technologies that benefit the public, stressing the importance of these funds for ongoing medical studies.
The National Institutes of Health's new funding cuts will jeopardize critical research, crippling universities like UCSF, which heavily relies on indirect cost reimbursement.
