I don't see how this will not lead to - rich gets richer - phenomenon. Scientists who have highly cited papers are by definition already well established (full professors in tier 1 institutes who are already well-funded or might be occupying an endowed chair position). Do they really need tons of grant money to do further research? As per this scheme, they will be the ones getting the share of grant money. And currently scientists in academic institutions are already giving more than 50% of their grant money as overhead cost to the institution.
