We want to help scientists in developing countries (DC) do research because of their intelligence and devotion to science. But frankly, observational and even theoretical research is very expensive. For a developed country an estimate of the average project cost that includes salaries, the equipment used, and the institutional overhead is roughly $100,000 (US). In DC the salaries are lower, but not necessarily the equipment.
