Slide title: Transformational Research
Slide words:
Thinking Outside the Norm
Less predictable in its course and outcomes
May not fit comfortably within scope of project-focused, step-by-step research
May not fare well in a panel-based system if experts are invested in current paradigms
Investigators may be reluctant to submit radical or paradigm-shifting ideas, especially when there are scarce resources
Desirable to base funding decision as much on the creative potential of the researchers as on the merit of proposed idea
