Grants for basic research
14 open or forecasted records carry "basic research" as a use-of-funds value. What the fold does, what is in the slice, and why the count is not a claim about the field.
"basic research" is a use-of-funds value written by a grantmaker, not a category we invented. 14 open or forecasted records fold onto this topic once spellings are normalised, which is what the topic slice holds.
- Records on this topic: 14
What the fold does and does not do
Casing and spacing are folded, because a difference in capitalisation is the only difference this layer can be certain is not a difference in meaning. Nothing else is. Two grantmakers writing the same idea in different words stay two topics, and deciding they are one is a vocabulary decision rather than a display one.
That is why this page counts a slice rather than a subject. It is not a claim about how much funding exists for this purpose in the United States, and no total here should be read as one.

A use of funds value says what a notice states the money is for. It does not list what the money may not be used for: most notices state prohibitions in prose, and a prohibitions field blank on the majority of records would read as "nothing is prohibited", which is the wrong default on exactly the facts where being wrong costs most.
What we cannot tell you
Whether a programme on this list will fund your version of this work. The value is the grantmaker's own phrase; matching it is not eligibility, and eligibility screening happens against the notice.
How much money sits behind the topic. Summing ceilings across records would add figures that mean different things on different notices, and summing pools would add money no applicant receives. Browse the slice and read the records.
For federal programmes the primary source is free: Grants.gov publishes the notices these records are built from.
