Dr. Jason Dou (speaker) explains how “power” and “money” operate in U.S. academia. He distinguishes two kinds of power—administrative (president/provost → deans → chairs → faculty) and professional/academic (fellowships, academy membership, major awards like the Turing Prize)—and argues that research funding (controlled by PIs) is the currency that drives influence, team size, and capabilities; he also mentions NIH grant databases (NIH Grant Search) and common grant types (P50, R01).
