extramural funding

Extramural funding refers to financial support provided to researchers, institutions, or organizations by external sources, typically outside their own internal budget. This funding often comes from government agencies, foundations, or private organizations and is used for specific projects, studies, or initiatives that advance knowledge and innovation. Extramural funding helps cover expenses like salaries, equipment, and materials, enabling researchers to work on important scientific, educational, or social issues without relying solely on their institution's resources. It encourages collaboration and fosters advancements in various fields by attracting diverse expertise and ideas.
