Not sure if it is necessarily an idea for a BOINC project but maybe it could fit into your project rain idea, cm.How about a tipping platform for scientific papers where you can tip grc. For example publishers on https://arxiv.org/ could somehow register, identify and get some GRC.

I like the idea.
We could approach arxiv, and similar journals to get gridcoin accepted for site donations at least. The websites would probably have to get involved. Perhaps if you have a verifiable (journal website) account and were able to link it to a CPID (which is then linked to 36 different cryptocurrency address fields) then it could be done.
If a journal website was to add a CPID field to their publicly viewable profile then we could scrape this to create a distribution vector.
Perhaps a project which managed to link 'journal-identity:CPID' could use 'paper count' and 'citation count' as a credit system (rewarding RAC), then it could be added to the neural network and continuously reward these researchers Gridcoin from now on.
A secondary work unit could be verified paper peer reviews in order to provide researchers who peer review papers a continuous distribution of GRC?
Perhaps researchers could be provided an internal governance regarding prioritizing research subject areas to receive more RAC than other subjects. You could weight voting weight by paper-count | citation-count, however this could potentially be gamed - further contemplation is required on this matter.
I'd imagine that a significant quantity of papers submitted to these journals don't have an email address or up to date contact details, so if you were to try to send coins to them how would they be notified? Likewise, a significant quantity of authors may no longer be alive :(
It could be negatively received like spam if it went out via email to tens of thousands of users, we'd need to tread lightly.
