Abstract
Restricting application rates is an attractive way for funders to reduce time and money wasted
evaluating uncompetitive applications. However, mathematical models show that this could
induce chaotic cycles in total application numbers, increasing uncertainty in the funding
process. One emergent property is that smaller institutions spend disproportionally more time
unfunded.
