Recent Announcements

NIH Update

Dear Colleagues,

This evening, we were made aware of new supplemental guidance issued by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) revising the negotiated indirect cost rate for grant awards to a standard indirect rate of 15% across all NIH grants. We are currently evaluating this new guidance to understand the impact to the University’s portfolio of grants and to explore options on how to respond to this new guidance.

We understand this policy change will create a good deal of concern and anxiety within our research community. As we gain a better understanding of its potential impacts and options, we will provide you with more information and guidance on how to move forward. We have also set up a website to track updates related to federal research grants. We encourage you to share this resource with your teams.

Thank you all for your steady hand in guiding our PIs and research teams through this challenging time. We are deeply appreciative of your partnership.

Sincerely,

Angela V. Olinto, Provost

Jeannette M. Wing, Executive Vice President for Research
