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.
