More voluminous grants would be riskier and harder to evaluate, AIUI. As of today, the idea is that a grant functions both as a prize for having a competitive proposal in the first place, and as a wager on behalf of broader society on the actual research impact. So yes, grant proposals take time to craft but that's just part of the game, and arguably of the actual research that you'll be doing.

possible, and an employee who doesn't know if they'll have a job next week might also work harder - at least for a time.
We are already taking the societal risk of employing a professor and giving them grant money - at least we can get the productive side of the money we spend.
