I did not work as an administrator. I have worked with scientists through the IT systems they use to apply for and account for grant funding. This is both for Universitys and medical research organisations. I do not make judgements on the government funding, but I do know when someone applies for research funds it is because they are trying to prove something, and that hypothesis is what any funding relies on. They want the hypothesis to be successful and any research is generally only granted if it fits the agenda of the government, University, etc.

I understand their passion, as I know many of them personally, but many of them are not producing research that they are passionate about. They are doing research which will generate funds for themselves and the University, Medical Researcher they work for. The grants are not granted based on what they are passionate about, but what is considered worthwhile.
