CARE Fund Requests Input on Impact of New Policy Changes The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced a 15% cap on indirect cost rate for all research grants on February 7, 2025. This cap applies to all new and existing grants starting February 10, 2025. Indirect costs cover institutional expenses such as facility maintenance, equipment, and administrative support essential to conducting research.

A hearing is scheduled for both cases February 21, 2025. ? CARE Fund seeks input from researchers, partners, patient advocates, and the community to inform the CARE Board of Directors about the potential impact on cancer research and patient care in Washington State. If the recent NIH policy change has affected your work, we encourage you to share your experiences and concerns with us using the contact form on our website. If you have taken steps in response to the new policy, please share that as well.? ? Your feedback to CARE Fund by February 28, 2025 through our contact form is appreciated.
