According to the NIH Office of Budget, the average reimbursement rate in recent years has been around 27-28%, although in some cases that rate can reach as high as 70%. The new proposed change would cap the reimbursement rate at a mere 15%.In its announcement of the proposal, the NIH estimated that the change could save the federal government as much $4 billion annually. However, those savings come at a steep cost for the pediatric cancer research community. Many universities rely on NIH reimbursements to maintain the kind of high-tech facilities and highly trained staff that are necessary to conduct clinical trials and other forms of medical research. Pediatric cancer research, in particular, is often expensive due to the relative rarity of many childhood cancers, the smaller number of patients able to participate in trials, and the need for specialized equipment capable of accommodating the physiology of small children.
