Misuse of funds threatens medical research

Why does any university have an IOH rate of 50%. That just seems excessive when the average (simple or weighted?) is 28%. That would at a minimum imply waste.

Slso interesting is the concentration of NIH grants in four states. I wonder if these four states have higher IOH rates.

The new policy, announced Feb. 7, applies a blanket 15% cap on indirect costs – generally called facilities and administrative costs – for new and existing grants. Those costs were previously individually negotiated; the NIH said the average rate was around 28%, with some over 60%.

One question is whether the cap could mean more grants for states that typically get a smaller share, says Jagdish Khubchandani, a professor of public health at New Mexico State University. Currently, he says, almost half of NIH research funding goes to institutions in four states: California, New York, Massachusetts and North Carolina.
