Abstract: The article discusses a study regarding research grants in England for 2010. To get funding, researchers must explain how their work will affect the economy. Various funding organizations, however, have reportedly protested such requirements. Applications to the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) are said to have complied with this rule, while a number from the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSR) and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) have not.
