Madison Area Lyme Support Group

I talked to someone today who has recently received a coveted NIH RO1 grant. Instead of being happy she said she is terrified. Why? Recently, Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has trimmed back “indirects” universities and hospitals slap on top of the direct research funded projects. This rate has grown from 15% over decades to >50% at many prestigious medical centers. The current indirect rate at Harvard is 69%.  (See link for article)

This website continually posts information on the unhealthy alliance between Industry, government, and University research facilities. 

For a great start, Congress needs to repeal the Bayh-Dole Act of 1980 so that the government agencies entrusted with public health do not have conflicts of interest in owning patents.  

Research institutions at universities should not be colluding with government by receiving government money.  The two need to be separate.

MAHA has begun, but there’s a lot to do.

The entire government grant process is riddled with conflicts:
