Can you go to jail for knowingly defrauding another entity out of money (such as grants). Yes. Absolutely.

Are you going to go to jail for fudging some numbers on your paper, not likely.

IMO faking a paper and then sticking that in your CV on a grant application is fraud enough to be worthy of jail.
