Dear Members of the George Washington University Community,
We shared yesterday our deep concern about the National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) intent to limit reimbursement of “indirect costs,” or research funding that supports mission-critical facilities, personnel, equipment, and operations. This change would negatively impact our research enterprise by slowing or stopping progress related to life-threatening diseases and improvements to public health, taking away valuable learning opportunities for our students, and hindering innovation and economic growth.
