Grants

Money for research

Grants are sums of money given by governments, foundations, or other institutions for specific purposes—typically research, education, or nonprofit work.

Unlike loans, grants don't require repayment.

To grant is to give or allow: The judge granted bail.

You grant permission, grant a wish, grant access.

To take for granted is to assume something without appreciation or verification. (Capitalized Grants is a place name.)
