However, in the United States, a professor usually applies for half of the funds from an external source (the university provides venues and some R&D), and he can take 20% and pay the remaining 30% to your graduate students for additional R&D needs.

So if you want to apply for $5 million as R&D funds, you can take $6,543,800+,but this $6,543,800+is your R&D income in recent years (except the salary paid to you by the school). Of course, you can apply for increasing research funding every year, as long as you speak well and PPT is done well.

Work area:

Professors work in universities, such as science and literature. In addition, professors must deepen their professional disciplines and obtain business cooperation opportunities by publishing papers (including government scientific consultants or business inventions). ), train their own students to have enough ability to compete with them in the future.

In the four directions of teaching, training, submitting papers and seeking business cooperation, we must rely on the additional factors such as school, place (country) and time to achieve a balance. For example, top universities in Europe and America attach great importance to professors who specialize in a single field and often regard them as the focus of publicity.
