Abstract The odds of failure are greater than those for success when applying for research funding. Yet academics are expected to be successful and win research funding to advance their own careers and the esteem of their institutions. This intensification of applications for research funding means that failure is a fact of life for researchers. In this intervention piece I examine how failure to secure research funding is entrenched in universities and suggest proposals to address this. The manifesto, which are my own views, argues that we need to depersonalise, collectivise and embrace failure.

失败宣言：去个性化、集体化和接受研究经费的失败

摘要 在申请研究经费时，失败的几率大于成功的几率。然而，学者们有望取得成功并赢得研究资金，以推进他们自己的职业生涯和他们所在机构的尊重。研究经费申请的加剧意味着失败是研究人员的生活现实。在这篇干预文章中，我研究了无法确保研究资金在大学中根深蒂固的情况，并提出解决这个问题的建议。宣言，这是我自己的观点，认为我们需要去人格化、集体化和接受失败。
