Graduate student in a neuroscience lab at a tier 1 institution in the US here. $1.1 million for a grant is very normal. I cost my advisor over $100k per year in tuition and stipend, not including the costs of any equipment and reagents that I use.
- tomrod 5y agoTier 1 - dedicated channel for funding, right? Is ground-breaking neuroscience research only performed at tier 1 universities?
- oceliker 5y ago> Is ground-breaking neuroscience research only performed at tier 1 universities? Absolutely not. I'm just sharing my perspective. People don't seem to realize the sheer amount of money that circulates in these institutions. A decent confocal microscope costs $500k, and core facilities aren't cheap either.
