It strikes me that a contribution @britishacademy.bsky.social makes to pluralism is through our small grants funding (up to £10k). This enables a wide range of smaller scale work, some of which then goes on to secure bigger (e.g. ESRC) grants. Using partial randomisation probably helps pluralism

I think there is a big tension between rigor and impact that the ESRC get wrong by mandating that their funded scientists must produce rapid and simplified "policy reports", sometimes before the science has even been checked by peer review.
