Hundreds of people spent considerable time writing applications to FTX Future fund’s first round of funding. It seems inefficient to me that there aren’t more sources of funding looking over these applications and funding the projects they think look the most promising.
This wouldn’t directly address your main concern, but I’d be really interested to see more full grant applications posted publicly (both successful and non-successful).
I want you to know there isn’t some secret sauce or special formula in the words of a grant proposal itself. I don’t think there is really anything canonically correct.
There might be one such grant application shared publicly, if that person ever gets around to it.
This is grant is interesting because it was both successful and non-successful at the same time. This is because it has interest but was rejected due to the founder, so the project might be “open”.

Manifold Markets (which I have a COI with) posted their FTX FF grant application here.
