The Administration’s decision to cap NIH indirect cost reimbursements at 15% puts critical biomedical and scientific research at risk. Indirect costs are essential for maintaining research labs, supporting staff, ensuring regulatory compliance, and sustaining the infrastructure needed for groundbreaking discoveries. Without adequate funding, universities, medical centers, and research institutions may be forced to cut vital projects, reduce research capacity, and limit training opportunities for future scientists.
We need Congress to take immediate action to stop this devastating policy change. Use the form below to send a message to your representatives urging them to:
1. Make a statement asking the Administration to rescind this order.
2. Use Congressional oversight to assess the impact of the proposed cap.
3. Require NIH to engage with research institutions before making policy changes.
4. Mandate an independent study to evaluate the consequences of reduced indirect cost reimbursements on scientific progress, workforce development, and national research infrastructure.
NIH funding drives medical breakthroughs that save lives. Tell Congress to act now to protect research and innovation. Send your message today.
