City & State City and State governmental agencies often need research or programs in specific areas Usually contracted services instead of “pure” research

For Profit Companies Drug companies often outsource parts of the process between drug discovery and approval for use by the FDA. Usually contracted work by scientists Student work can be problematic as terms may prevent publication of work or development of intellectual property

Non-Profit Foundations Often support research as an integral part of their mission Funds are usually more restricted than federal funds Can be as competitive as federal funds Usually very tight eligibility requirements based on their priorities
