The interview was directly with the supervisor and the process varies per individual. HR was not involved in my interviews. It's crucial to clarify with the supervisor upfront that any additional grants or awards you receive are exclusively yours. Some supervisors might allocate these funds to the lab or project instead of allowing you to keep them, leaving you with only the very low base salary.
