I didn't see a smiley there, so I assume you are serious.
I know several university professors, and they all tell a similar
story. Grants are awarded based on a) reputation of the applicant, b)
relevance/significance of the proposal and c) availability of govt./
private funding.
Also, you should realize that when you are the one proposing that
things are not as they are supposed to be, the burden of proof rests
on you.
