Public funding for different aspects of research is organised in one of three ways:
\begin{itemize}
\item From federal sources (e.g. project funding);
\item From state sources (e.g. institutional funding for higher education
institutions, state R\&D institutions);
\item Jointly from federal and state sources according to agreed formula (e.g.institutional funding of public research institutes of national significance; project funding for universities;categories of research infrastructure).
\end{itemize}
