A reverse K99 would be interesting... 2 or 3 years of R01 type funding to wind down followed by 2-3 years of funding for supplies as you are hosted as an emeritus professor - and ineligible for future grants as a PI

Where is the data that these investigators actually retired (vs going for NIH or NSF grants or, if tenured, sitting in their offices and collecting full prof 9 month salaries with minimal teaching)?
