The real question is how do you come up with a credible 3-5 year research program that is unlikely to be scooped or become pointless overnight.

3-5 years is the period of a grant, and grants have to make research progress, or you don’t get the next grant.

Well, in this case, I think the problem and what should be updated is how grants work. They were stupid before, but now they are even more.
