And if it didn't require 12 hours a week (or some similarly horrible figure) writing grant proposals instead of doing actual research

There's really no way around the need for written grant proposals, so the solution seems like "research teams should allocate a decent wage for a good grantwriter". Surely there are talented technical writers out there who would happily join with these noble causes, if only the jobs were there (and financially viable for the writer).
