aaac:questions:1s [Assay and Acquisition of Radiopure Materials]

This is an old revision of the document!

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?
