Do non-bullshit scientists ever KickStart research they can't get get grants for?

Obviously this would be most useful for stuff you can make sound interesting to laypeople - more like "which of these natural supplements, if any, helps you achieve orgasm?" than "can we reproduce the results of the badly-designed study linking this gene to the ability to metabolize this substance?" - but it seems like it could be doable.

Personally I'm all for structuring all research around clickbaity summaries, like

"You won't believe which three proteins are responsible for a two percent increase in liver function!"
