$20,000/yr is less than I get from the CSE program at Michigan. Surely you're exaggerating?

- jballanc 17y agoNIH predoctoral stipend for FY2009: $20,976 (source: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-09-075.html http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/notice-files/NOT-OD-09-07...) Most other biomedical/chem funding levels are pegged to this level (since the NIH actually has odd restrictions on paying students more than the stipend level).
- fburnaby 17y agoThat's exactly what I'm getting, and living on (though not in NY admittedly). Hardly the -$45,000 claimed by in the article, and either way, it's better than the $0 involved with doing the research independantly.
- jballanc 17y agoExcept, I would imagine, doing the research independently leaves her more time for part-time work or even a full day job.
- Perceval 17y agoMy stipend is only $17000. That's up from when I started four years ago at $13500. That covers rent and food, but obviously not books. Of course, Baltimore is far cheaper than New York, but it's still possible to live on.

- Perceval 17y agoPolitical science (major: international relations, minor: comparative politics). I've talked to some of the students in hard sciences (e.g. bio) and they report stipends of $23000. It's probably just set department-by-department, and mine either happens to be poor or stingy.
