Wanted to check-in with these new @NIH changes that are going to affect so many. First let me remind everyone: I run 6 hybrid clinical/research centers, each with a specific clinical focus. Unlike the vast majority of my colleagues, federal funding sources account for less 1/

This would massacre most major R1 universities. Stanford, Harvard et al basically run entirely on NIH/NSF indirect cost reimbursements. Everything from librarians and computer clusters to real estate and lab space are paid out of these funds – there are no endowments that cover…

Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above…

My prediction is that the med schools, which are the most affected by NIH indirect cuts, will go after faculty salaries, # of graduate student slots, prices for core facilities and mouse housing, admin support. Although I hope this idiotic decision will be reversed due to legal…

It's not "breaking news" now, since it was announced by NIH yesterday. But it is breaking....... washingtonpost.com/health/2025/02…

NIH has announced a cut in the "indirect rate" to 15% across the board, in a move that appears to be retroactive to even existing grants. This is a bloodbath for research institutions throughout the country. Brief explainer for those not in this world: buff.ly/3EtML7D

The NIH 15% cap on indirect costs will kneecap biomedical research in the US. Without essential infrastructure, there will be: Staff cuts Lab closures Fewer research projects Less scientific progress Loss of talent The US will no longer lead scientific & medical innovation.

NIH indirect costs fund the backbone of research: maintaining labs, ensuring safety, and supporting admin work. These are essential for groundbreaking discoveries. Drastic cuts to NIH indirect rates are detrimental to academic biomedical research.

1) Since there is a lot of confusion about the reduction of the overhead rate on NIH grants to 15% (see here: grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/n…) I'll do a little tweetorial (or X-torial?) about it.

Watching the Deepseek r1 model reason through and basically one-shot complex medical scenarios is... humbling! I've been plugging in some of my more complex recent cases, and it slices through them like a pro. How long until people will trust the AI over human doctors?

Congrats John and Geoff! Both are former colleagues. I did my postdoc in Geoff's lab in Toronto. After that, I joined Bell Labs, where John was a part-time scientist (and a professor at Caltech). In fact, John was the reason why the department I joined was working on neural nets.…

This is amazing! I hope more societies adopt this in conference planning!


This is phenomenal. As I am planning to take my infant to conferences with me this fall I hope other societies are as supportive of working parents and nursing mothers. @NASPGHAN will we have some of these accommodations?
