scientific funding

Laboratory budget allocation

Scientific funding is money allocated to support research, typically from governments, universities, foundations, or corporations.

Researchers compete for grants through peer-reviewed proposals: The lab lost its scientific funding after the grant expired.

Debates over scientific funding often reflect broader priorities—how much society invests in basic research versus applied, in climate science versus defense.
