A scheme for scientific funding - by sid - cybermonk

Here is how I think scientific funding should work. Funding should be allocated by experts and stakeholders, using a voting mechanism, to problems (e.g. an unproven conjecture, a rare disease, an inconsistency in physical law) and not methods (a particular class of drugs, artificial neural networks, string theory, etc.). The non-expert stakeholders, especially, should not influence the way the problem is approached.
