I think someone should probably actually run something like this (like, this idea should probably actually be implemented), either as a new thing or as part of an existing fellowship or research training program
I think if someone who was potentially a good fit wanted to run this and had a potentially good somewhat more detailed plan, or wanted to spend a few weeks coming up with a somewhat more detailed plan, they should seriously consider applying for funding. And I think there’s a decent chance they’d get that funding.
As the first of those 2 posts says: “I strongly encourage people to consider applying for one or more of these things. Given how quick applying often is and how impactful funded projects often are, applying is often worthwhile in expectation even if your odds of getting funding aren’t very high. (I think the same basic logic applies to job applications.)”
If someone is interested in potentially implementing this idea, feel free to reach out to me and I could connect you with other research training program organizers and with some potentially useful resources, and maybe (if time permits and it seems useful) could provide some advice myself
Thanks for this post!
