In fact, I may be spending more money this year than last as we nail down important data for the stories we are putting together. I don't see much other choice - saving money to have people who have nothing to work with doesn't make much sense.Prof-like Substancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09536241129674490468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793086675277097176.post-75527851549852654842010-05-13T19:46:29.964-04:002010-05-13T19:46:29.964-04:00Ouch.

My only advice is to not give up, to look for atypical sources (every little bit helps), and to check all of the early investigator/early career sources you can find for eligibility.<br /><br />Good luck, and hang in there. There are many of us that feel your pain.prodigal academichttp://theprodigalacademic.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793086675277097176.post-82710456480455111022010-05-13T13:30:08.433-04:002010-05-13T13:30:08.433-04:00This can be a scary time, but it's important t...This can be a scary time, but it's important that you don't panic and that you don't stop generating data/papers/proposals during the year you have. Keep in mind that your chair and dean (assuming they have a gram of commonsense between them) don't want to see you fail. If you're close to running out of money and haven't got outside funding, ask them for help. You won't be the first to have done so. Being able to show them that you've been highly productive with your three year's money will help make a good case for additional money.<br /><br />My bet is you will hit funding soon and all this will be moot.Odysseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14589096873729951466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2793086675277097176.post-90385482533797997312010-05-13T12:34:43.177-04:002010-05-13T12:34:43.177-04:00All good points and a good reminder.
