Thanks for answer! Another option in this vein would be to pay a Secretariat to handle correspondence with grant applicants, collecting grantmakers’ views, giving feedback, writing up the recommendations based on jot notes from the grantmakers, etc. I’m not sure how much time a competent admin person could save Fund grantmakers, but it might be worth trying.
Yeah, this is something that’s definitely been discussed, and I think this would be a logical first step between the current state of the world and hiring grantmakers to specific teams.
