Not only that, but research grants usually have to pay "overhead" into the general fund at rates that exceed my imagination. This even includes hardware purchased for the research: a project I was on once had $2700 of "overhead" tacked onto the price of a $2500 server purchased from Dell that didn't even live on campus.
