We conducted a Web search for organizations and entities that either sponsor research, conduct research, or do both. We examined only the information that the organizations themselves provide on their Web sites. Government agencies like the US National Science Foundation and the European Commission Directorates General, which sponsor research programs provide the most information about program goals, application and selection processes, grant awards, and research results. Intergovernmental entities like the United Nations, World Bank, and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) post review information about their programs and publications, however less is provided about the amount of funding available to researchers or the process by which such funding might be obtained. Universities and non-profit research organizations provide access to their publications but little information about the funding structures used. With few exceptions, private sector companies provide little detail about how they select, fund, and conduct research.
