The fellowship covers your modest rent in a smaller city and your basic living costs, but the contingency grant is the true gift—it allows for books, conference travel, and small research expenses that the main stipend cannot stretch to cover. In my own switch to research, I found that grant was what let me purchase recording equipment to preserve the very mountain bird calls I study. So, spend it on the tools that make your unique work possible, babu. Do not let anyone tell you it is only for paper and ink.
