Even at 3 years, it is difficult for scientists to plan: it takes about a year to get a grant, which means that when you get a new 3-year grant you only have 2 years to generate results before you have to apply for another one. And when you get a grant, it often takes time before you can find someone qualified to do the work (someone who you may have to train).",
