Kansas City, meet your first Carnegie R1 university: UMKC! This designation places us among the top 6% of research universities in the country—right here in the heart of KC. From finding solutions to critical healthcare challenges to exploring advancements in technology and the arts, our work impacts the community we proudly call home. R1 status means more resources, more opportunities and more innovation right here in Kansas City. 🔗umkc.edu/news/posts/202…


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.
