Marsden Fund: is it worth it?
The Marsden Fund is a competitive fund in which the "top" researchers are given money to do proposed research.
This year, $82,345k was awarded to 120 projects. That's a mean of ~$230k per project.

When considering 100% institute overheads, that ~$230k over 3 years ends up as enough for 1.5 researchers at Massey's Step 1 lecturer salary ($74k).
Unfortunately those 120 projects had 394 named investigators, or around 3.3 investigators per project.
