Could someone refresh my understanding of why, oh f* why, we need to wait between 6 and 12 months to learn whether our 10% success rate grant proposals are getting funded ? What is the f* bureaucracy doing with them all that time ? Why is it so hard to ask reviewers to send a review within a month and then have a committee that figures out the few outstanding proposals and then randomly draw a few among the remaining good ones, and that's it ?
