Inflation says hello

[advisedwang]

Overhead is $ of overhead of $ per grant, so this isn't inflation, it's a higher proportion of grants going to admin vs research.

[diziet]

Significantly higher than inflation, too.

I mean, on a per grant basis, the direct costs (and thus indirects) for a non-modular NIH R01, which is probably the most common form of grant, haven't changed since the Clinton era.
