Funding agency

Can you please explain to me what the following sentence mean?

Funding agencies have a nasty habit of making funds harder to get in an area which has been guilty of making very exaggerated claims.

Funding agencies have a nasty habit (a habit that is unwelcome to the people affected). This nasty habit makes it hard for some people to get funds. The people affected are those working in the robotics industry (I assume this is what it's referring to, based on your other recent posts).

  • This industry has in the past been guilty of making exaggerated claims (and the implication is that this is why funding agencies are cautious).
