This is a very helpful thread re: the slashing of overhead rates on NIH grants. It is an atrocity and, as OP states, an attempt to decimate higher ed. This guidance goes into effect immediately, affecting not only future but also current grants, which is to say current university budgets.
Carl T. Bergstrom@carlbergstrom.com · 2y ago1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%. I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters. grants.nih.gov/grants/guide...

I have finished only one chapter, on Levy‘s contributions to the Jewish Chronicle in the context of other contributors and secular Jewish writers, such as Helen Zimmerman and Israel Zangwill. On to the Newnham chp next. (As you can see, I am still trying to get the hang of short statements!)
Here’s more on my profile: Now working on a hybrid cultural and personal biography of Amy Levy that will thicken her biography by looking at her in the context of others who shared her experiences and conditions.
Have just started reading Harriet Constable’s The Instrumentalist and am loving it.
I tend to be more of a lurker and listener than a frequent poster but didn’t like the idea of losing touch with the people (and you know who you are) l like and admire so much. I look forward to hearing more from those I’m following!
