2. Introduction
Research funding is a term generally covering any
funding for scientific research, in the areas of both
"hard"science and technology and social science.
Sources of research funding,
o corporations
o government
Some small amounts of scientific research are carried
out by charitable foundations.
Total research funding in most developed countries is
between 1.5% and 3% of GDP
3. Government-funded research
Many governments of developed countries
provide considerable funds for scientific
research as well as social science research.
Much of this is not intended to provide concrete
results that may be commercialisable, although
research in scientific fields may lead to results
that have such potential.
Most university research is aimed at gaining
publication in peer reviewed academic journals.
4. Government-funded research allows
basic science.
Government-funded research into such matters
as the nature of quantum mechanics or the
existence of water on Mars.
For example, Decades of research into
quantum mechanics have made possible work on
quantum computing, which is now expected to
be an even greater leap forward in computing
technology than the development of the
microchip.

11. Corporate And Private Research
In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, most
scientific and technological research was carried
out by individual inventors using their own funds.
A system of patents was developed to allow
inventors a period of time to commercialize their
inventions and recoup a profit, although in
practice many found this difficult.
In the twentieth century, scientific and
technological research became increasingly
systematized, as corporations developed, and
discovered that continuous investment in research
and development could be a key element of
success in a competitive strategy.
Privately-funded research is profit oriented.
12. AICTE
The All India Council for Technical Education
(AICTE) is a Statutory Body established by the
