Any idea if they'd be interested in a researcher cost analysis for the most recent Marsden Fund results, along the lines of this? It would involve me mostly me crunching numbers without much additional context or citations, but perhaps other people could add their own perspective...?

My general argument is that even for the Marsden Fund, the reward is so low that it doesn't make financial sense for researchers to apply (beyond its function as a biased gamble / lottery).
