We're not really good at providing input. Some of the most important projects in any field are large-scale collaborations or consortium projects. It's pretty much a given that if you want to move a field forward, it has to be through a large-scale collaboration. Silos or smaller-scale collaborations are too novelty-focused and incremental to make a real difference.
The proposals that secure funding for these types of projects require a collaborative writing process.
Scott, I always appreciate your posts. Communicating one-on-one is hard enough for people, and you tackled a more complex communication process. What I liked was that you broke down the components and then gave specific recommendations. Your posts are thought-provoking and practical. One thought: I think most people don't know what "voice" means, especially those of us educated in the scientific track rather than in literature. I'm not sure how you would teach this, but just a thought.
Thanks for your compliments and feedback. I agree with you about voice. Maybe I should dedicate a post to the topic of voice. Its something I would like to learn about as well.
