The 2022 report includes the analysis of 82 universities, their indirect cost rates on federal funding and their indirect cost rates from private investors such as the Sloan Foundation, the Gates Foundation and the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. Ten schools in the analysis of the Heritage Foundation did not confirm their indirect cost rate for private investors and left 72 complete entries in the report analysis.
Of these 72 universities, the report claims that 67 private research allowances have accepted zero percent with the cost of indirect research – really the same analysis and similar findings in the NIH Declaration.

The Heritage Foundation’s report concluded that only three schools refused to accept indirect cost rates from private foundations at a lower rate than they have negotiated with the federal government. These schools are Alabama University in Birmingham, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Michigan.
NiH’s notice refers to the same three schools without introducing the Heritage Foundation as a source of analysis. It is worth noting that Harvard needed at least 15 % of indirect cost coverage from private investors and the California Institute of Technology needed 20 % of indirect cost. These samples also appear in the Heritage Foundation report.
One of the authors of the report, a senior partner of the Heritage Foundation Jay Green, says he was not involved in the NIH warning, but has acknowledged that a clause of the NIH Declaration “appears to be the reference to our 2022 report.” NIH did not respond to Wired request for comment.
A plan to reduce the rate of indirect costs in federal funding also appears in the 2025 project, the Heritage Foundation’s policy plan for nearly 1,000 pages for Trump’s second presidency. “These market -based reforms help reduce federal taxpayers’ subsidies from leftist programs,” the report said. During the presidential campaign, Trump has constantly rejected any links to the Heritage Foundation and the 2025 project.
On Monday, a coalition of 22 states challenged a lawsuit that challenges the legality of NIH to reduce indirect costs.
Universities say the hat disrupts their ability to conduct critical research. “The discovery of new therapies will be slow, opportunities for the next generation of scientific leaders will be reduced, and our country’s science and engineering power is endangered,” he wrote in a post on the university’s website.
If you maintain a new grant hat, some universities lose more than $ 100 million federal budget. According to statistics, the medical Will Cornell brought $ 107 million to $ 107 million in 2022 – a figure that would drop to $ 23 million if the rate is 15 percent.
