完了，NIH要求降低grant里的人头费比例

[idocare]

对。

overhead不是人头费，是给各单位的管理费，相当于房租水电，还有保洁秘书IT安全等等的开支。

太好了，budget不变，Indirect 减少4B, grant funding rate将大大提高！

NIH "overhead" costs are typically north of 50%. As Carl Bergstrom of the University of Washington explains this, the overhead rate at his University is 55%. "That means that if I get federal grant for $1,000,000 of direct research funding, the university receives an additional $550,000 to cover operating expenses and such." At the School of Nursing and School of Medicine I'm a professor at, that's around 60%. This is negotiated and justified with the Federal government.

That's because you can't re-create a medical lab every time you get a new grant. You have to have facilities and staff on-hand to keep things ongoing. This is the functional equivalent of saying you have to re-build an entire NFL team and stadium for each season, and that they can only guarantee being around until the next grant cycle goes through- and only up to the end of that.

If we can't keep medical research ongoing in the United States, it'll cease. We just gave the rest of the world one of our biggest assets for absolutely nothing.

Now, don't worry- all those cutting-edge therapies and interventions in other countries will be still available to the richest citizens in the US. They might have to take a flight to Auckland or Brussels or Geneva, but they'll still be able get it.
