A new episode of my Under Review podcast is out and we're discussing how generative AI has changed the research funding landscape beyond recognition with @jameswilsdon.bsky.social from @rorinstitute.bsky.social
Ep 7: The death of the funding bid as we know it.

Roughly half of social science findings fail to replicate, but tracking them is notoriously difficult. New community-led tools make replication a routine feedback loop rather than research "policing": researchonresearchinstitute.substack.com/p/did-you-kn...
In ResearchProfessional News (£) @scurry.bsky.social discusses our paper on fast and flexible research funding, warning there are no "silver bullets" and funders must track data to prove their bureaucracy-cutting works: www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-r...
@alexrushforth.bsky.social, Paul Wouters, and @ludowaltman.bsky.social (RoRI & @cwts.nl) warn that national research assessment systems face a dual legitimacy crisis: AI is polluting published literature and infiltrating evaluation itself: researchonresearchinstitute.substack.com/p/can-nation...
How much red tape is actually necessary to run the research ecosystem? 📄❌
@scurry.bsky.social's latest post looks at why past attempts to cut funding bureaucracy have seen mixed success & why funders must work harder to defend risk-taking: researchonresearchinstitute.substack.com/p/red-tape-a...
Great to see Science|Business feature our latest landscape review of funder experiments to cut grant bureaucracy; read the piece here (£): sciencebusiness.net/news/r-d-fun...
Our new working paper, "Fast and flexible research funding: a review," analyzes the unsustainable time and paperwork required for grant applications, offering key recommendations to help global funders reduce this bureaucratic burden: rori.figshare.com/articles/pre...
RoRI’s @jameswilsdon.bsky.social joins @andytattersall.bsky.social’s Under Review podcast to discuss how generative AI could transform research funding, challenge traditional grant systems, and force a rethink of how excellence is assessed: www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWbp...
Surging application numbers raise stakes amid concern over universities moderating demand for grants

Trying to cut research grant paperwork in academia is all the rage. Applicants are frustrated at having to submit seemingly enormous proposals for a tiny chance of success, and reviewers are burned ou...

A clip from next week's Under Review podcast where I chatted with @jameswilsdon.bsky.social about the rapid change to the research funding landscape due to generative AI.
We discuss many things including how AI-generated grant proposals have increased vastly in number and what to do about that.
