We're talking within the context of supporting basic research happening in the university context. I think the question you're asking is how will that continue, going forward.
We have a system that's almost an ecology of support. There are different kinds of programs that play different roles in supporting that research. We have infrastructure support for equipment and lab facilities and so on, such as Eliot provides. We have the granting councils that provide the direct costs and we have indirect cost programs.
The appropriate balance and delivery of those programs going forward is something that is being considered. How do you get the right efficiencies? How do the right synergies among these programs get organized? That discussion is not yet over, but to the extent that there is to be basic research, then these matters have to be tended to.
