Do lab heads have external grants?
No. Janelia Farm is fully funded by HHMI. New lab heads who already hold outside funding are required to terminate it before beginning their employment at Janelia Farm. A core goal of Janelia Farm is to free scientists from the need to write grant proposals and to allow them the freedom to change research direction without concern for the impact on their funding. HHMI provides all the resources needed for research carried out at Janelia Farm.
