[QUOTE="michelia, post: 3056335, member: 94146"] Well, I am in the field here in the UK. And I'm telling you that the the vast majority of research done in my particular department, is funded by 1. The Medical Research Council (publicly funded). These are who fund my own research. 2. Cancer Research UK (charity) 3. British Heart Foundation (charity) 4. Wellcome Trust (charity) 5. British Lung Foundation (charity) 6. Norman Salveson Emphysema Research Trust (charity) 7. Multiple Sclerosis Society (charity) 8. Sir Jules Thorn Charitable Trust (charity) 9. Arthritis Research Campaign (charity) Off the top of my head head I cant think of anyone I work with who's funded exclusively by a pharmaceutical company. I'm sure they're there, but it is by no means the most common source of funding in medical research in Universities. What usually happens is that you put in a grant application and the funding body considers whether or not your ideas are good enough and within their remit before deciding to give you the money, rather than someone coming to you with the money.
