Research
Why is this survey being carried out?
This survey is carried out in the context of a larger project called “Triple-I-Research: Investments, Incentives and the Impact of Danish Research.” The project aims to improve our understanding of the way universities, firms and research funders interact and how research impacts society at large. This involves investigating a large variety of data sources and a survey is required to collect those kinds of information that are not contained in archival data.

I don't engage much with industry and I don't raise external research funding on a regular basis - are you still asking me to complete the survey?
Yes, we would still like to hear from you. For robust statistical analysis, it is crucial to have information across a broad range of individual profiles.

Why are you asking for my views on a specific private funder of research?
We look for new insights regarding the impact of different types of research funding. In particular, we investigate how, from a researcher’s point of view, research funding from public sources, such as the Independent Research Fund Denmark (Danmarks Frie Forskningsfond), interact with the funding obtained from private foundations. We are therefore very interested in obtaining your views on a research funder about which you are knowledgeable. Our research interest is in the GENERAL patterns and trade-offs that will emerge from the survey. We will NOT publish any results on individual private funders. Also, your personal views will NOT become known to any third party, including private or public research funders.
