The News Feature ‘Keeping the lights on’ ( Nature 515, 326–329; 2014) incorrectly stated that the Boston Biomedical Research Institute went bankrupt and closed in 2013. It closed its doors under financial duress, but did not go bankrupt. The story also states that funds for indirect costs cannot be used to support researchers who lose grants or have yet to win one. Because the money from indirect costs goes into a general fund, institutions may spend it any way they wish, but these expenses cannot be reimbursed as indirect costs.
