Sen. Katie Britt (R-Ala.) was asked about a major reduction in National Institutes of Health grants.

The change targets “indirect costs” and will, by the administration’s own estimate, reduce federal research outlays by $4 billion a year.

Among the institutions that would feel the impact is the University of Alabama at Birmingham's health system, which is the region's economic backbone.
