grant-in-aid
Designated project money
A grant-in-aid is money given by a government or institution to fund a specific project or purpose—research, education, public programs.
Unlike a loan, it doesn't require repayment.
The term usually appears in governmental or academic contexts: The university received a federal grant-in-aid for cancer research.
Plural: grants-in-aid.
