"Foreigners can only be hired (a) as GSRs on federal grants, or (b on pharma studies.The difficulty is not because you are not a competitive candidate but because NIH is funding far fewer grants than before and when they do so they cut at least 20% from the proposed budget. In the old days (not that long ago) people had more money. Also, if you had a green card you would easily get into a training grant which would pay your tuition fees and a stipend."
Now I am wishing I had a green card.Whatever that is.
I started the whole application process thinking PhD meant automatic funding.....
Has funding become difficult for US citizens also? Or is it just for international students?
