Vice Provost for Research Dean Madden and Office of Sponsored Projects Director Jill Mortali alerted faculty and staff of a judge formalizing the pause on new National Institutes of Health policy capping indirect costs. The court based its assessment, in large part, on the statements filed in these cases by universities—including the declaration filed by Provost David Kotz.

Office of Sponsored Projects Director Jill Mortali shared with faculty and staff that a judge extended the pause on new NIH indirect costs policy.

Dartmouth and Dartmouth Health hold a joint media availability to raise awareness of the severe impact the NIH cuts could have, if instituted. As a result, Vice Provost for Research Dean Madden is featured in The New York Times, The Boston Globe, The Chronicle of Higher Education, and other local and regional news outlets.

Office of Sponsored Projects Director Jill Mortali updated faculty and staff that the NIH indirect costs policy had been paused.

Provost David Kotz ’86 provided an update on Dartmouth’s response to the NIH policy capping facilities and administration/indirect costs, sharing that the AAU had filed a lawsuit challenging the cuts and that Dartmouth submitted a declaration under oath in support of the lawsuit, outlining the negative impact this policy would have on Dartmouth’s research infrastructure and operations, its ability to employ thousands in rural New Hampshire, and our capacity to produce life-saving research discoveries.
