      The university pays my salary, and the funds from my research come for a few different sources – currently, a charity (the British Heart Foundation), the UK government (through the research councils) and the Scottish Government (through Scottish Enterprise, and organisation set up to help new businesses – I’m trying to set up a small pharmaceutical company to further expand some of our results in the field of drug development).

      The institute receives funds from the government and then they pay the employee.

      I am a consultant, so I get paid by my clients. They may be government organisations or private companies. I am based in Switzerland, but my clients come from all over the world – but mainly from Japan and the UK at present.

      I get paid by the government who fund my research through grants. But these are paid to the uni and then paid to me

      I am jointly paid by The Royal Society in the UK and the Science and Engineering Research Board in India. These are fellowship funds for individual researchers.
