Collective allocation of science funding: from funding agencies to scientific agency
TLDR
A class of funding models in which all participants receive an equal portion of yearly funding but are then required to anonymously donate a fraction of their funding to peers is investigated, showing that such a distributed system for science may yield funding patterns similar to existing NIH and NSF distributions, but may do so at much lower overhead while exhibiting a range of other desirable features.
