      Important thread. Our science funding models are not designed for pandemics. Paging smart people who think about this: @patrickc @tylercowen @ericries @samahttps://twitter.com/firefoxx66/status/1245251019354836992 …

      I want to come back to this: *Our current funding methods stand a good chance of failing #COVID19 #SARSCoV2 research.* Initiatives across the globe are setting up emergency #hCoV19 funding calls. They vary but generally promise extra 💰 into a cash-starved system (research) 1/n

          To borrow a formulation from @robinhanson that might apply: "Science funding is not about scientific progress" (What is it really about, then?)

          One thought - what if a set of awards with follow on grants were setup that didn’t require grant applications but were awarded based on recent work & came with few restrictions (other than basics like perhaps publishing in open journals/sharing data sets etc)

          There may be an optimal ecosystem of funding models and the weight of the current grant model is too large wrt what I think would be ideal. Like there are strategic X reserves for materials, there could be an strategic pile of money for urgent research

          The problem is that by the time something is a pandemic, it's too late. What we need is a way to encourage NIH etc. to be countercyclical and fund things that won't pay off for a decade, rather than what these articles describe: https://www.statnews.com/2020/02/10/fluctuating-funding-and-flagging-interest-hurt-coronavirus-research/ …https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/01/30/coronavirus-treatment-vaccine-cure/ …
