It’s not obvious to me what the optimal level of funding diversity is. I guess the unilateralist’s curse could be a reason against funding diversity (though it depends on multiple considerations; e.g. what the level of coordination would be). I don’t find it difficult to imagine how grant-givers could do more harm than good. I could also see that there should be more funding diversity in some domains than in others.
