Editing Funding (section)

===Research===
Research funding is funding used for [[research|research-related]] purposes. It is most often used to describe funding in the fields of technology or social science. The allocation of funds are usually granted based on a per project, department, or institute basis stemming from scope of the research or project. [[Research funding]] can be split into commercial and non-commercial allocations. Research and development departments of a corporation normally provide commercial research funding.  Whereas, non-commercial research funding is obtained from charities, research councils, or [[government agencies]].<ref>Imperial College London(2014) ''Types of research funding'' [Online] Available at: http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/researchsupport/funderinformation/typesofresearchfunding (Accessed:15 October 2014)</ref> Organizations that require such funding normally have to go through competitive selections. Only those that have the most potential would be chosen. Funding is vital in ensuring the sustainability of certain projects.
