Does the type of funding influence research results – and do researchers influence funders?

Abstract: Does a shift from hard to soft funding have an impact on research outcomes? Existing literature suggests that moving from hard money, such as lump-sum government-funded research, to commissioned research entails a greater risk of the researchers being influenced by the principal (the funding body). Based on literature and an empirical study, we identify two types of researcher roles: the influential consultant and the technical realist. The first type studies more advanced, important, and diffuse topics on beh… Show more

“…The funders agency criteria influence researchers’ work with a path coefficient of 0.363. The impact of research alludes to how research influences a wide variety of phenomena and trends in society, which emerged from the combined effect of research findings (Hove, 2020) that generally manifest over the long term. Funders (research councils, charities, foundations) required researchers to make research data underpinning their work freely available, reusable, accessible, and stored.…”

“…This trend reflects the priorities of established natural resources management enterprises, which includes funders and institutions that influence the direction of research and, subsequently, manuscript submissions. In other words, research often follows funding and journals can only publish the research that is submitted (Hove, 2020). The applied nature of most human dimensions of wildlife research, as well as the relative specificity of study contexts and populations, creates a strong linkage between researchers and management agencies.…”

“…Although a majority of publications used probability-based sampling, that trend decreased from 69% in 1996-2000to 39% in 2016-2020. Conversely, non-probability sampling increased from 21% in 1996-2000to 55% in 2016-2020. Notably, 11% of non-probability samples reported in 2016-2020 were panels, and panel samples were previously only observed in the 2006-2010 period.…”

“…A key rationale behind more recent funding priorities has been the perception that the overall quality and impact of research will increase through competition and selective funding of the best performers (Hicks and Katz 2011). The question of how such changes in funding patterns impact the content of research however continues to be a matter of both scholarly contention and empirical research (Franssen et al 2018;Gläser and Velarde 2018;Hove 2020;Sarewitz 2016). Studies suggest that academic scientists, as a response to intensified demands to attract research funding and publish more frequently, employ a number of coping strategies (Hessels et al 2011;Laudel 2006aLaudel , 2006bLeisyte and Dee 2012).…”
