Research Grants are funds provided by a government department, corporation, foundation or trust, to an individual or a group in order to carry out research in a particular area. They are often given to support scientific research, education, technology, the arts, and social services.

Overview[edit | edit source]

Research grants are typically awarded through a competitive process, with potential recipients submitting proposals that are evaluated on the basis of their scientific merit, potential for innovation, and feasibility. The amount of funding provided can vary greatly, depending on the scope of the research and the funding organization.

  • Foundation Grants: These are grants provided by private foundations, often for research in areas of interest to the foundation.
  • Corporate Grants: These are grants provided by corporations, often for research that could potentially benefit the corporation.
  • University Grants: These are grants provided by universities, often for research conducted by faculty or students.
