| - | ==== Sample questions that go beyond the Von Hippel Survey ==== | ||
| - | == Important note: This list is far too long and we would clearly need to reduce the number of questions, | ||
| - | |||
| - | === Answer these questions with a scale: | ||
| - | * How would the following actions by the funding agencies affect you? | ||
| - | * Limiting applicants to one PI or CoI proposal per year: | ||
| - | * would increase the time I could spend on my research | ||
| - | * would reduce my chances for tenure. | ||
| - | * would cause me to leave the field. | ||
| - | * would reduce the number of proposals I submit. | ||
| - | * would improve the quality of those proposals I submit | ||
| - | * would reduce the size of my research group | ||
| - | * Calling for proposals every other year | ||
| - | * Etc.. | ||
| - | * Introducing a pre-proposal stage. | ||
| - | * Etc... | ||
| - | * Reducing the amount of funding for individual proposals | ||
| - | * Etc.. | ||
| - | * Creating smaller research grants for exploratory research, with an expectation that successful proposals are likely to be funded in the following year | ||
| - | |||
| - | * Proposals to non-governmental research funds are easier to get funded (or "are available to me" ) | ||
| - | * There are too many scientists in the field of astrophysics and the low success rate is an appropriate method of population control | ||
| - | |||
| - | === Other questions === | ||
| - | |||
| - | * If my proposal is rejected, (choose one answer that best represents your action) | ||
| - | * I resubmit the same proposal the next year | ||
| - | * I submit a different type of proposal the next year | ||
| - | * I support my research on someone else's grant | ||
| - | * I submit a similar proposal to a different federal funding source | ||
| - | * I submit a similar proposal to a private funding source | ||
| - | * I concentrate on other aspects of my job (e.g. teaching) | ||
