funding agency

Research bankroll provider

A funding agency is an organization that provides financial support for projects, research, or initiatives.

Most commonly, these are government bodies that award grants to scientists, artists, or institutions: The National Institutes of Health is the primary funding agency for biomedical research in the United States.

Private foundations and international organizations also serve as funding agencies.

Researchers often tailor proposals to specific funding agencies' priorities and requirements.
