Obviously there will be some kind of filter and spammers will adjust their techniques to slip through the filter since you've now given them incentive to do so.

Obviously there will be some kind of filter and spammers will adjust their techniques to slip through the filter since you've now given them incentive to do so. This is hardly a new phenomenon.
- imgabe 11y agoSpam filters are pretty effective these days, I don't think this is an insurmountable problem. Maybe something like sending a verification email with a link to a captcha. Not too much of a nuisance to do for one application, but unsustainable for submitting a million applications. Edit: Alternately, an even lazier idea: Randomly award the grant from the pool of applicants rejected by other institutions.
