That depends. Private fundng, like the Chair established in my grandfather's name at Stanford, often stays with the school and department. Same with most fellowships.

if it's "her" money, how does Wisconsin lose if she goes? And since the Federal government is the largest grant provider, we're just talking tax dollars here. you might be one of those "conservatives" who gets excited by politicians who "bring in Federal money;" i'm not.

We're not talking about endowing a chair. We're talking about government or industry funding research by a particular scientist for a specific area. If this professor leaves then the money will follow her or else just be cancelled.

It loses the research dollars and the scientist who attracted it.

I'm more interested in the discoveries that come from the research.
