academic funding
Scholarly financial support
Academic funding is money provided to support research, teaching, and institutional operations at universities and other educational institutions.
Sources include government grants, private foundations, corporate sponsors, and tuition revenue.
Researchers spend considerable time writing proposals to secure academic funding for their projects.
The lab lost its academic funding and had to shut down.
Competition for limited academic funding shapes what research gets pursued and which scholars advance in their careers.
