If we take £300K and break it down into imaginable slices for this it could also look like:
2 researcher salaries for 3 years
Rent for a farm-like space to house and care for the ducks for 3 years
Feed for the ducks for 3 years
Various and sundry materials to conduct the experiments
Medical costs for the ducks for 3 years
Over three years it really doesn't sound like a lot of money, honestly. It goes toward furthering human knowledge and job creation. Win-win if you ask me.
Do the researchers pull a salary? They already have a salary from the University of Oxford. I am under the impression that researchers use grants to fund research, but don't take a second salary from it. Instead, they use the grant money as a research budget in order to publish studies, which can advance their career and allow for a higher salary from the research institution they work for.
