Where Research Begins

The Office of Sponsored Programs is currently hosting its second season of the Lunch and Learn "How to" Series. Join us for Episode 7: What Is a Scope of Work (SOW)?

We’re excited to invite you to a variety of events hosted by the Office of Research & Innovation in the coming weeks!

On Friday evening, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced its intention to adjust how it supports the research conducted at universities across the country, by imposing a cap on the amount of funding allocated within research grants to reimburse universities for the costs of maintaining research facilities and administration. For each institution, these reimbursement rates are individually negotiated with the federal government and can range from 8-70% of the total NIH award. Starting yesterday February 10th, the NIH will limit this amount to 15% for all awards, which is a significant reduction that will negatively impact this important work at so many universities, including Drexel.
