science funding

Laboratory budget allocations

Science funding is the financial support provided for scientific research, typically from governments, foundations, or private industry.

Most basic research depends on grants awarded through competitive application processes: The lab lost its science funding and had to shut down.

Debates over science funding often involve questions about which fields deserve priority and whether political considerations should influence allocation.
