NIH Replaces Letters of Support with Letters of Collaboration to Streamline Grant Applications

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) has announced a policy change to replace letters of support with letters of collaboration in grant applications.

Letters of collaboration will be limited to stating the intent to collaborate or provide material support, without endorsements or additional information. The new policy will be implemented with the introduction of Forms J in Fiscal Year 2027, and applications that include letters of support after this date may be returned without review.

Baylor College of Medicine Opposes Federal Research Overhead Caps

Baylor College of Medicine Opposes Federal Research Overhead Caps

Baylor College of Medicine is actively lobbying against federal caps on research overhead costs, which are crucial for funding campus infrastructure and research activities. The college has retained the services of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck LLP to navigate the legislative landscape as Congress debates these caps. The National Institute of Health (NIH) had previously issued guidance capping indirect cost rates at 15 percent, but this was blocked by the courts. Baylor's lobbying efforts reflect its concern over potential financial impacts on its research capabilities and the broader implications for higher education institutions.

Phineas Gage's Brain Injury: A Reassessment of Historical Accounts and Modern Implications

Phineas Gage's Brain Injury: A Reassessment of Historical Accounts and Modern Implications

The story of Phineas Gage, a railway foreman who survived a severe brain injury in 1848, is being re-evaluated. Gage's injury, caused by an iron rod passing through his skull, has been a staple in psychology textbooks as an example of how brain damage can alter personality. However, recent scholarship suggests that the traditional narrative of Gage's life post-accident, which portrays him as a drastically changed and socially impaired individual, may be inaccurate. New research indicates that Gage was able to lead a functional life, including working as a stagecoach driver in Chile, which contradicts the long-held belief that his injury left him incapable of normal social interaction.
