Amna Nawaz:

The Trump administration recently announced that the National Institutes of Health, or the NIH, will make big changes in the way it funds researchers.

White House officials say they will save $4 billion by capping so-called indirect costs, or what you might think of as traditional operating expenses, that's funding universities that they receive on top of money for direct research. Those can range from 30 percent to 70 percent in additional funds. The administration wants to cap that at 15 percent.

Scientists say the move will have a huge effect on their work. We spoke to medical researchers to hear what they had to say.
