Poll on research funding: Now with blogpost discussing results: http://deevybee.blogspot.co.uk/2018/04/should-research-funding-be-allocated-at.html …https://twitter.com/deevybee/status/982241648582082563 …
The New Zealand Health Research Council is already doing this (assessed against some basic criteria, then allocated at random): https://gateway.hrc.govt.nz/funding/researcher-initiated-proposals/2019-explorer-grants …

I'm told some other funder - possibly Templeton - has also explored it, but don't have a link. A further improvement would be to run a lottery to be able to apply. Done right, this would reduce time wasted preparing grants.

Volkswagen Foundation in Germany are also using random allocation https://www.volkswagenstiftung.de/en/funding/our-funding-portfolio-at-a-glance/experiment …
