What is the effect of reduced funding for individual research grants (relative to the overall funding profile)?

  • What do we expect to happen if the current trend continues unchecked?
  • Does it represent healthy competition and improve proposal quality?
  • Does it unfairly target younger researchers?
  • Does it reduce the number of scientists in the field?
  • Does it favor large projects over small projects? Is that good or bad?
  • What anecdotal information is available reflecting the effect of grant funding trends?
  • Does anecdotal information confirm or refute the view that young researchers are dissuaded from staying in astronomy because of the grant funding trends?
