This is false. Not-for-profits which aren't universities apply for grants all the time. Different grants come with different restrictions, but the proposed scheme would certainly be above the bar for e.g. typical NSF science grants.

Universities are hard due to accreditation, but starting a not-for-profit is quick and easy.

It varies per grant. I work in medical research and this is the case where I live.

In the USA the NIH is 3-4x the budget of the NSF
