NIH cuts billions of dollars in biomedical funding, effective immediately

NIH is lowering indirect costs to 15% on all existing and new grants for all institutions.

[NIH @NIH]

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.

Long-awaited multi-ancestry prostate cancer GWAS update is out.
—Up to 451 genome-wide hits (minus 51 associated with non-cancer PSA elevation).
—The PRS might distinguish risk of aggressive vs. non-aggressive disease in African ancestry men
