Thank you for replying adamShimi and providing your perspective on this matter.

Regarding benefits, are there other things you desire beside grant administration and employment status? 

Yes. Thank you for your time and replying to my question.

Thank you for the link.

Almost there. My question was actually concerning the expected benefits from affiliating with an independent researcher institute. For example, an independent researcher would expect to receive grant administration (if funded) and virtual infrastructure services as benefits from Theiss Research in exchange for their affiliation.

Please let me know if there is a need for further clarification. 
 

Hi johnswentworth,

Would you have some spare time in the next few weeks to discuss with me the benefits an independent researcher should expect to receive from joining an independent researcher institute?

You can reach me at kylethefox1@gmail.com. 

Thank you for your time and consideration.
