In a way, this is similar to ineffective philantropy in general—perhaps “ineffective grantmaking” would be an appropriate heading?
That sounds a better heading indeed. Although grantmakers define the value of a research outcome, they might not be able to correctly promote their vision due to their limited resources.
However, as the grantmaking process is what defines the value of a research, your heading might be misinterpreted as the inability to define valuable outcomes (which is in contradiction with your working hypothesis)
What about “inefficient grant-giving”? “inefficient” because sometimes resources are lost pursing secondary goals, “grant-giving” because it specifically involves the process of selecting motivated and effective researchers teams.
