Posts - Bill - HR 420 Federal Grant Accountability Act
house 01/15/2025 - 119th Congress
We're proposing the Federal Grant Accountability Act to align federal research award indirect costs with the average rates seen in private research awards. By setting limits on these indirect costs, we aim to ensure that funds are used efficiently and directed primarily toward impactful research initiatives.
