Indirect costs pay for labs, facilities, safety, imaging, computing, and personnel needed to conduct biomedical research across universities and medical schools nationwide.

Are private schools truly accountable in Iowa school choice

Althea Cole argues that private schools participating in Iowa’s education savings account program face stringent state requirements. Accredited non-public schools must be licensed, maintain 180 instructional days, set attendance and truancy policies, meet curriculum standards, provide professional development, log finances, and follow reporting. They cannot discriminate against students needing accommodations and must provide individualized education programs. Public funding should not be conditioned on exempting standards.

Private scholarships raise stakes in Iowa budget debate

The piece argues that budget maneuvers in Iowa favor tax cuts and surpluses over public services. It cites Gov. Kim Reynolds's 2026 plan pulling 351 million from the Taxpayer Relief Fund, predicting a 600 million revenue drop this year and 428 million next year, while a 1.7 billion surplus remains. It notes a $300 million annual entitlement for Education Savings Accounts to private schools and compares 314 million for private scholarships to 3.8 billion for public schools.
