The Department of Energy (DOE) has announced a policy change to reduce inefficient spending at colleges and universities.
By capping financial support for “indirect costs” in research funding at 15%, the DOE aims to save $405 million annually.
This policy supports President Trump’s focus on government efficiency and transparency.
U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright emphasized financial efficiency for research, stating the funding should not cover administrative costs or facility upgrades.
- DOE grants over $2.5 billion annually to 300+ institutions for sanctioned research.
- “Indirect costs” include facilities and administration.
