On the Job Hunt 👀🧪

I’m currently looking for research coordinator or research associate roles but with everything happening around federal funding lately, I want to be strategic.

For those in the field:

What questions should I be asking during interviews to identify if a position is federally funded ?
Any red flags or green flags I should be aware of?

Drop your insights in the comments. I’d really appreciate the help! 👇💬

I would ask how the role is funded and how long funding is secured for. Red flag if they say anything like we'll see what to do when funding lapses. If they have multiple years funded then that's a green flag.

Not a red flag if they are federally funded, huge red flag if they are ONLY federally funded. I would just ask about how the role is funded, turnover, historical record of funding, and the ability to tell you they are thinking about it. If they are being realistic, the question should not be a surprise.
