There were times when I was meditating 4 hours per day. I think about the human body very differently than the average academic. That doesn’t mean that academics don’t do anything useful but they won’t spend money on certain projects because they lack certain experiences. Teaching new phonological primitives takes years.
I’m wise enough to know that giving people like myself the power to allocate all money isn’t the solution either.
There are many things I don’t understand.
I believe that monocultures are generally bad. It’s important to have various institutions with different philosophies, world views and interests.
Just having more rational discourse about how to allocate NIH money is not enough. Centralized power is bad in principle.

It doesn’t have to be black and white.… all to NIH OR all to projects like yours.
To me… investing money in exploration, in research is a defensible position and research… by its very nature is unknown territory. As long as you can make a rational argument for why you think the allocation of resources is warranted, you should have a chance of getting some. ;)
