Highly recommend for any journalist covering food systems -- or interested in developing a new beat. Food reporting touches so much: climate, health, labor, immigration, business, community etc. This was a wonderful opportunity to hone my skills & collab w/ other smart reporters

Wow. Universities budgets will be reeling. A very big deal.
Last year, $9B of the $35B that the National Institutes of Health (NIH) granted for research was used for administrative overhead, what is known as “indirect costs.” Today, NIH lowered the maximum indirect cost rate research institutions can charge the government to 15%, above what many major foundations allow and much lower than the 60% that some institutions charge the government today. This change will save more than $4B a year effective immediately.
