this aligns with my experience. NIH has a better track record than DARPA, which has a better track record than NSF and the worst is the DOE. The DOE knows this and is trying to cargo-cult DARPA through stuff like ARPA-E. Predictable results have ensued.

Judging basic science by productivity is the absolute worst metric to choose. DOE Labs are going down that path, and are becoming glorified university research groups all in the name of productivity.
