A New Funding Model for Scientists_PAKAR's Take

I find the idea very interesting. The WG: Grant Mechanism and Global Research System will debate this extensively at the next GA in Chile.

I like the basal fund idea in the new proposed funding model. It will be nice to add a reward fund on top of the basal fund. Which rewards scientists whose choices create growth of young scientists, less-funded topics, increase new discoveries and breaks new grounds. And a punitive deductions from the Basal Fund for scientists whose choices consistently creates unproductive and negative outcomes in the research community.
