San Antonio's top health research centers poised to lose $50 million in Trump NIH cuts
The bad news for San Antonio under the Trump White administration's deep spending cuts keeps getting worse. San Antonio’s two crown-jewel bioscience research centers face the loss of nearly $50 million in annual research money if a Trump administration policy change for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is allowed to go into effect, the Express-News reports. The proposed rule change, now challenged in federal court, would slap a 15% cap on the money the NIH is able to provide for labs to cover "indirect costs" that don't directly fund research, among them equipment repairs, facility expansions and certain salaries.
