Research Council

A Research Council is an organization that provides funding, support, and guidance for scientific research and innovation. These councils typically involve experts and policymakers who assess research proposals, allocate grants, and set priorities for national research initiatives. They play a crucial role in advancing knowledge across various fields, including health, technology, and the environment, by fostering collaboration among researchers, institutions, and industries. By investing in research, councils aim to generate new discoveries, improve public services, and drive economic growth. Examples include the U.S. National Science Foundation and the UK's UK Research and Innovation.
