INTRODUCTION
❑Research funding is a term generally covering any funding for
scientific research, in the areas of both "hard" science and
technology and social science.
❑Sources of research funding,
o corporations
o government
❑Some small amounts of scientific research are carried out by
charitable foundations.
❑Total research funding in most developed countries is between
1.5% and 3% of GDP
Government-funded research
• Many governments of developed countries provide
considerable funds for scientific research as well as
social science research.
• Much of this is not intended to provide concrete
results that may be commercialisable, although
research in scientific fields may lead to results that
have such potential.
• Most university research is aimed at gaining
publication in peer reviewed academic journals.
• Government-funded research allows basic
science.
• Government-funded research into such matters
as the nature of quantum mechanics or the
existence of water on Mars.
• For example, Decades of research into quantum
mechanics have made possible work on quantum
computing, which is now expected to be an even
greater leap forward in computing technology
than the development of the microchip.

Corporate And Private Research
• In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, most scientific and
technological research was carried out by individual inventors using
their own funds.
• A system of patents was developed to allow inventors a period of
time to commercialize their inventions and recoup a profit, although
in practice many found this difficult.
• In the twentieth century, scientific and technological research
became increasingly systematized, as corporations developed, and
discovered that continuous investment in research and development
could be a key element of success in a competitive strategy.
• Privately-funded research is profit oriented.
