I am sure there are not enough experienced people to review that many grants, and god knows who and how they are reviewing those pile of grants.

I am aware of many scientists who graduated from harvard and other top institutes and since they are trying to establish in a different province, they appear not to be the part of the herd to graze. I believe there should be a more uniform, stable and consistent approach in funding to encourage research throughout the country. Hellooo, we are scientists not a bunch of monkeys where when you through food the mightier gets the best, and please don't adapt Darwin's and Lamarck's principles here.
