You will need administrators, the people you are going to bring in are unlilely to have the experience to manage the institutional financial aspects of grants. Also most funding agencies will not give easily to places that are not recognized somehow (nor will reviewers).
- PeterisP 5y agoA grant proposal would need to reassure the agency that the organization has the capacity to fulfil the promised research, so for a new organization without a track record of successful projects it will mostly hinge on the track record of the individual researchers they can attract; if OP can get some experienced PIs with big names and big CVs,then it would be plausible to get agency funding, but they will likely require nontrivial financial guarantees; but if they attract some fresh PhDs with "space to work rent-free" and a stipend, then yes, most funding agencies will not find their grant proposals competitive enough.
