13. Fair enough. But if the regime wins on the 15% cap case as well, I think we'd be looking at a HUGE hit to funding

Thursday

Because the 15% cap will probably cause a lot of grantees to just go "welp, we simply cannot do this science if the cap is that low, we'll lose too much money". I suspect it would have a big ripple effect that exceeds the actual $ amount difference between 15% and the previous allotments, which I've read have been up to 50% in the past.

From what I've read, "administrative costs" in this context does not just mean "paying the pencil pushers and bureaucrats", it includes like buying equipment needed to do the science, paying the labs power bill, all sorts of stuff.

Are we great again yet?
