Funding for scientific research

Scientific research funding comes from two major sources: government-sponsored and corporate/private funding. Many researchers spend a large percentage of their time applying for grants, the primary source way of awarding research funding.

In America, it's often important to get public recognition and media attention to secure research funds.[1]
