Is it getting harder to get grants?
<|assistant|>
It depends on the source of the grant and the kind of research being conducted. In general, grants are becoming increasingly competitive as funding sources have limited funds and there are more scientists and researchers competing for those funds. Additionally, there are more and more research projects vying for the same pool of grant money. This means that there is increasing pressure on researchers to make themselves stand out in order to be awarded the grant money they are searching for.
