? Hiring outside talent is not unusual for Canadian and UK research grants. A music professor using part of a grant to hire a programmer (generally to do the "technical side" of an electroacoustic composition), or an engineering professor using part of a grant to hire professional musicians to perform something (which he will then analyze), is entirely normal. I readily acknowledge that writing grant applications is a very specific skill -- each granting agency wants to see something slightly different in its applications; a perfect application for one agency might be a terrible application for another one.
