Grants and publications become a virtuous circle. Getting grants gives you time and resources (and prestige) to get publications. Getting publications is the gateway to getting grants (before you have grants), and getting more grants (once you have grants). E.g. the measure of a grant-getter's success (at utilizing a grant) is generally the number and "quality" of publications the grant generates.

- pgbovine 12y agoyep, absolutely right. the amounts vary a lot by school, but typically your school gets 1/3. So if your grant is for $300k, you keep $200k, and your school gets $100k. thus when evaluating two faculty with comparable numbers of publications, the one who's brought in more money is more valuable to the department ... literally :)
