At least in some countries, the government makes a yearly budget and decides what to fund, including specific projects.

- dekhn 4y agoThat's what I said. See the ssc as an example. Note also the nih is a massive fund (25+ billion in grants per year, all bio). Nsf is a better example because they have to fund many fields. Doe has fixed funding for nuclear, plus soft funds for scientists in many fields (they funded the human genome long before nih).
