| Other notes: | Some funders consist of several sub-programs with very different funding mechanisms and patterns. We have included as much as possible both numbers for the overall funding organization (e.g. the European Commission) and its sub-programs (e.g. the FP7 Cooperation health theme or the European Research Council). The ERC was able to provide figures for its funding distribution mechanisms in the area of Life Sciences, not of health research. However, the website www.healthcompetence.eu provided figures of health research funding by the ERC. For consistency, figures for the Health theme of the FP7 Cooperation programme were extracted from the same website. There are slight deviations between these figures and the health research spending reported by FP7 Cooperation programme itself. |
