I think if we want research to survive we need to start funding it on a basis other than paycheck-to-paycheck. We need to acknowledge the adversarial nature of the current political situation.
If you have a $50M study that takes 10 years, $50M leaves the budget on approval and goes into a foundation dedicated to that study.
