Description
This dataset details all STEM research and ancillary projects funded by
Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) since its foundation in 2000 to its
dissolution on 31st July 2024, when it was merged with the Irish Research
Council to form Taighde Éireann - Research Ireland. As its successor
organisation, Taighde Éireann - Research Ireland has taken over the
management of SFI’s historical grant data.
SFI was the national foundation in Ireland for investment in scientific and
engineering research. Consequently, SFI invested in those academic
researchers and research teams who were most likely to generate new
knowledge, leading edge technologies and competitive enterprises in the
fields of science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM).
As part of its function, the Foundation also promoted and supported the
study of, education in, and engagement with STEM and promotes an
awareness and understanding of the value of STEM to society and, in
particular, to the growth of the economy.
SFI grants were made based upon the merit review of distinguished
scientists.
