The case
Why this fund exists
Grant funding rarely covers the whole cost of a study, and almost never covers the gap between one grant ending and the next beginning. This fund keeps active research running through those gaps.
It pays for the unglamorous things a laboratory cannot work without: reagents, consumables, sample storage and the recurring costs of keeping a study open.
What each amount pays for
- Rs 25,000a week of reagents for an active study
- Rs 120ka month of consumables across the research bench
- Rs 500ka full quarter of one study's running costs
