It’s almost like they have no clue how taxes work or what the government actually does.

Many of the indirects do support jobs. They pay for administrative grant staff that NIH will not allow in their budgets. Many universities also give a portion of the indirects back to researchers because NIH cuts all budgets by 10-20% as a rule, so all grants start in a deficit.

In a timeline where a growing number of people really don’t care if we do cancer research, or anyone but themselves for that matter, it can be helpful to show how their actions don’t make financial sense.

Do your research. Lies are unbecoming.

So the net economic impact of this is $2.5. It’s ’trickle-down economics’ that actually works!

The grant dollars pay the salaries of many researchers and staff to do the work. That supports and grows local economies (workers go buy things). Also, researchers need to buy supplies and equipment to complete the projects, mostly from US businesses, which then pays their employees.

@cnn, seriously if you want to be cnn next week change this headline to say what it is. It should include the words ‘illegal’, ‘19-24 year olds with no government authority’ and ‘coup’.

My dad (a raging New England liberal, don’t worry) said he read somewhere that the J6 fbi firings are all the people hired just to investigate J6, so this is just letting them go now that they’re no longer needed. Is there any truth to this? Sounds convenient to soothe the masses.

This seems like a waste of government money. Anyone report this to DOGE yet?

I’ve heard lentils are a good long term investment.

These are all really good points. I’ve been thinking how the socioeconomic diversity (which includes me!) provides a wide umbrella, but hadn’t considered how it could then be manipulated against other underrepresented groups, even if they fall under the that umbrella.

But sure, let’s defund cancer research instead, because that’s wasteful spending /s

DOGE needs to look into this!!!
It is SOOO expensive to hire, onboard, and train new employees. Such a waste of money!

DOGE needs to check into this!!!
How much money are they wasting rewriting history just to stroke the egos of a few white males.

It’s mind boggling how anyone can think what they’re doing is Christian.

The thing I don’t understand is that this is a private company: they are under NO obligation to comply with government directives on how to run their business. So why do so? If there is nuance to the decision, please explain.

Wow! I don’t disagree with you. But I would never have even considered. My university won’t pay professors at any level to teach classes. None. I’ve done sooo much free lecturing. The amount of unpaid education labor, often at top medical schools-all in the name of promotion-is astounding.

We just checked yesterday to make sure we had hard copies of all info on hand, as most of our references were links to NIH webpages.
We are reviewing applications now for our 2025-2026 funding year on our T32 and will be submitting our renewal application this spring! 🤞🏻
