Hoi,
The only point for this experiment is that there is not enough bandwidth to
cope with all the requests for funding as it is. The idea is that by
concentrating on one area it is possible to do more. The argument against
is that it is highly demotivating for everyone that finds its request for
funding on hold. In addition, there is no continuity for a subject once its
period of attention is over and another subjects gets the "treatment".
Thanks,
GerardM
