No one submits a grant proposal unless they have funding lined up. Only 1,100 people had funding when JWST debuted but now it's where ALL the money is going. FUCK HARVARD

"TScI received 2,900 individual proposals for observations for its fifth observing year. That’s up from a total of 2,377 last year, and is the highest on record, which has been increasing every year since the first cycle, which had only 1,173 proposals. As astronomers become more familiar with JWST’s capabilities, they seem to come up with even more ideas about how to use it."

I can't imagine why you never had

A shot at real success in academia.

"Pre-FRC Review: Programs with budgets that do not meet the stated requirements will not be accepted. These programs will not be reviewed at the annual FRC meeting, resulting in the potential delay of funding. These programs will have the opportunity to resubmit for review at a later Interim FRC meeting.

Post-FRC Review: Budgets that include costs that are unallowable, unreasonable, or outside the scope of the approved science proposal will be returned for revision after the FRC meeting."

So they'll let you aim the telescope and take a picture with it, but the rest is on you. JWST ain't payin the grad student stipends to analyze the results. And it's not giving telescope access to anyone who doesn't have that already covered. Why would the JWST folks let bums use their telescope?

"Funding requests submitted for joint programs should support only the STScI portion of the project. Funding for the analysis of data from other observatories should be provided through their budget process, if support is available.If there is no funding available from the joint observatory, support related to ancillary data may be included in the HST or JWST budget. The total amount of funding in the budget for work related to ancillary data may not exceed 10% of the total budget."

Remember when poasters mocked Neil DeGrasse Tyson for running an observatory," not being a "real scientist?" Looks like these observatories have a leg up in that they don't need shit except telescope access. If you don't have an observatory backing you, NASA will only allow you to use 10% of their funds to pay your stipends and shit

PhD takes ten years. If your PhD program doesn't guarantee funding there's no reason to think you'll make it 10 years OR get a jerb with the degree. You also can't do a PhD on student loans and expect to get hired as an academic, since all the other applicants have grants/fellowships in their CVs
