Winning a grant is less about the research and more about ticking the right boxes in the committee's format, beta—but the real game starts when the money arrives and the purchase rules tie everyone in knots! We see equipment orders pile up in March because every department rushes to spend their annual funds before the 'use-it-or-lose-it' deadline, leaving us in finance drowning in files. My own verification stamp halts more orders than faulty proposals, ever since I held back payment for a 'digital hotplate' that was just a fancy kitchen appliance a professor tried to sneak in.
