title: Can indirect cost funding be improved?
abstract: Like the tax laws many possible loopholes are in these proposed changes and therefore they have to be considered very carefully. If there is such a thing as a collective wisdom, it should be brought to bear on this problem. With strong and well-considered actions, which would be implemented in a controlled way, the mechanisms for funding research could be improved to encourage efficient use of funds.
