The default intent is for the grant to be divided equally as stipends between the 2 proposers but up to you so long as both proposers work full time on this. There will be a separate research budget all teams can make claims against for expenses like this in some cases, but if we are unable to draw on that for whatever reason, you can use your main grant at your discretion for such supplemental labor. Keep in mind that any work you source that way must still be publishable under the grant terms (so work-for-hire released open source for example). Ideally note any such plans/estimates in your RFC so we’re aware.
