You may post the U Michigan info. Our rate has stayed at 15%. Noone has mentioned the fact that discrepancies across the country in health care costs may mean that it is more expensive to conduct trials in some locations regardless of the indirect. Health care is relatively expensive in Michigan so that even at 15% tdc of indirect we find it hard to match some of the per patient costs some other institutions find acceptable. To increase the indirect only to be forced to discount the direct to stay competitive would be counterproductive. The idc issue for clincial trials is more complex than joining together to hold the line to a particular number.
