In light of new transparency in budgeting and expenditures expected of central research administration and reductions in the amount of indirect cost revenues distributed to colleges, departments, and faculty, universities must present a more accurate perspective on the "real costs" of research, costs that extend well beyond support for the central research office. The purpose of this article is to illuminate the significant gap between the real costs of research within universities and the funding that is available to support them.
鉴于中央研究管理部门在预算和支出方面有望提高透明度,以及分配给学院、系和教师的间接成本收入减少,大学必须对研究的“实际成本”给出更准确的描述,这些成本远远超出了对中央研究办公室的支持。本文旨在阐明大学内部研究的实际成本与可用于支持研究的资金之间的巨大差距。
