What do sci tweeps think about those who want to remain in sci & do research but do NOT want to be a PI? No mentorship/management interest?

It's basically impossible to get one-person grants, I'd think.
-
hmm you mean as opposed to a grant that also adds a postdoc or phd student?
-
I think it's more of a "how much do I want to get done" thing, but yes, something like that.
-
oh so you mean that the amount of work required within a grant in order to get it funded has to be > than 1 person can do?
-
That'd be my gut feeling. But I haven't checked or tried, to be fair.
-
I have looked around. Goal: get funding for one PhD student. Impossible as far as I can see.

This must be a French (???) thing... in UK you can do this unless I'm completely off here!
-
the German science foundation still has single investigator grants, IIRC, but the success rates are <<< big project grants

An obsession with management, inside and outside science. Work that cannot be managed is almost suspect, not accountable to anyone.
-
I suspect the ultimate cause is fear of mistakes. If science is done by teams in collaborations, the subject has some concensus.
-
That's not completely bonkers.
