Notes for Editors
1. The Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) is the UK’s largest organisation for funding research on economic and social issues. It supports independent, high quality research which has an impact on business, the public sector and the third sector. The ESRC’s total budget for 2012/13 is £205 million. At any one time the ESRC supports over 4,000 researchers and postgraduate students in academic institutions and independent research institutes. More at: www.esrc.ac.uk
2. The French National Research Agency (ANR) provides funding for project-based research in all fields of sciences. Employing a method based on competitive peer reviews that complies with international standards, the ANR attaches great importance to providing the scientific community with instruments and conditions that promote creativity and openness, and stimulate new ideas and partnerships, particularly between the public and private sectors. Its activity also contributes to enhancing the competitiveness and the influence of French research in Europe and across the world. Since 2010, the ANR has also been the principal operator of the Investments for the future programme in the field of higher education and research. In this role it ensures the selection, funding and monitoring of projects relating to the centres of excellence, health, biotechnologies, and the transfer of technology and the creation of value from research.
3. The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) is the central, self-governing research funding organisation in Germany. Its mission is to fund and promote all fields of science and the humanities. It does so by relying on its statutory bodies and its Head Office, which shape the work and structure of the DFG. In an international context, the DFG is a member of several scientific and science policy associations, thus contributing to international dialogue, cooperation among researchers, and to the formation of a European Research Area.

4. The Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) is the national research council in the Netherlands and has a budget of more than €500 million per year. NWO promotes quality and innovation in science by selecting and funding the best research. It manages research institutes of national and international importance, contributes to strategic programming of scientific research and brings science and society closer together. Research proposals are reviewed and selected by researchers of international repute. More than 5000 scientists can carry out research because of funding by NWO. Twenty percent of the funds and the projects are related to social and behavioural sciences. More at: www.nwo.nl
5. The National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC China) is an organisation directly affiliated to the State Council of China for the management of the National Natural Science Fund. It promotes and finances basic researches on mathematics, physics, chemistry, earth sciences, materials sciences, engineering, life sciences, medical sciences, information sciences and management sciences. NSFC’s total budget for 2014 is 19.4 billion RMB.
