Interesting paper: "...10% of NIH grants generate a patent directly but 30% generate articles that are subsequently cited by patents....also find no systematic relationship between the “basic” versus “applied” research...and its propensity to be cited by a patent." www.science.org/doi/full/10.... 🧪

New NIH Study Section meetings being posted on federal register. Hopefully grant review meeting pipeline keeps opening up. But if you get a grant and they agree to provide funding, are they going to give the original indirect rate or the 15%? 🧪 www.federalregister.gov/documents/se...

This needs more attention. May be able to draw on currently funded grants, but if no new grants can get approved b/c they're canceling grant review meetings, $ will run out eventually and we'll feel the full lag effect a year from now. 🧪

If I'm interpreting this correctly, it is going to have a massive impact on science in the U.S.🧪 "...there will be a standard indirect rate of 15% across all NIH grants for indirect costs in lieu of a separately negotiated rate for indirect costs in every grant." grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...
