==== Solution 1: one proposal per year per PI ==== * **Is it good for the science?** * Reduce the diversity of ideas? Stifle risky, but imaginative proposals? * How many proposals are same PI * Rate of success of new PI * Do new PIs come up thru the ranks? How many proposals was a PI on as a senior researcher in the past. * Size of collaborations, relative number of small vs large collaborations * How do we track "new ideas" ? * **Would it improve success rates?** * funding requested per proposal, $$ requested for successful vs unsuccessful * number of times proposed before success. (and no success attempts) * demographics on success vs unsuccessful * **Would it reduce reviewer load?** * number of proposals per group, per PI, per faculty vs research vs lab * Would it create more PIs (proposals) from otherwise collaborating senior researchers? * Does it make it even more difficult to decide between a few very excellent must-fund proposals?
