"A federal appeals court on Monday ruled that the National Institutes of Health cannot unilaterally cap the indirect-cost rate on its grants at 15 percent, continuing a freeze on the controversial policy change that would cost universities billions."

@petersuber

This 15% cap is the wrong way to reduce administrative overhead and cost externalization

The right way is to incentivize good practice, operate flagship research models, and, of course, hire leaders who want to do the job well.
