NSF and the like are vague on purpose; it's researchers' jobs to convince agencies of what they should be funding not the other way around. 3. Even private foundations tend to be vague so that researchers have many option. 4. Private companies that do non-charitable grant work for research purposes do not tend to put out open calls for grants; they typically steer funding towards people they know with projects that interest them, or they do the work in house (for competitive reasons). | |
