A manifesto for failure: Depersonalising, collectivising and embracing failure in research funding

Abstract
The odds of failure are greater than those for success when applying for research funding. Yet academics are expected to be successful and win research funding to advance their own careers and the esteem of their institutions. This intensification of applications for research funding means that failure is a fact of life for researchers. In this intervention piece I examine how failure to secure research funding is entrenched in universities and suggest proposals to address this. The manifesto, which are my own views, argues that we need to depersonalise, collectivise and embrace failure.
