Object 2: Funding Criteria Document from a Scientific Research Granting Agency

  • Theme: Knowledge and Technology
  • Rationale: The criteria used by granting agencies to allocate funding for scientific research often reflect underlying values about what types of knowledge are deemed important or beneficial. For instance, a shift towards supporting sustainable energy projects over fossil fuel research indicates a valuation of environmental sustainability and long-term ecological health. This document highlights how financial and institutional support structures, guided by specific values, can influence the scope, direction, and pace of knowledge production in the sciences.
