Who Funds What?

3 Replies, 630 Views

My wife asked me yesterday if I could find out who funded a certain study. This one:

“Social media’s enduring effect on adolescent life satisfaction”
Amy Orbena,b,1,2, Tobias Dienlinc, and Andrew K. Przybylskia,b,1


 Is there an easy way to find out?
Oh my God, I hate all this.   Surprise

This study is part of the "UK Household Longitudinal Study" (from reading the introduction).

Link to the study's funders - https://www.understandingsociety.ac.uk/about/funders

Articles should include a mention of who/what funded a study (found under additional information or as a footnote, if not in the introduction) as well as any conflicts of interest (which can include funding sources). Look for an "info" tab for an online article. Sponsors are listed if a study is registered on clinicaltrials.gov.

Fortunately in this case the full paper is available online and the details of funding are included in the acknowledgments section:
Understanding Society was funded by the Economic and Social Research Council, led by the Institute for Social and Economic Research at the University of Essex, and delivered by NatCen Social Research and Kantar Public, available on UK Data Service. Funding was received from Barnardo’s UK (A.O. and A.K.P.), the Volkswagen Foundation (T.D.), and an Understanding Society Policy Fellowship Grant ES/K005146/1 (to A.K.P.).

It may not be so obvious for work that's behind a paywall.

Thanks to you both, please forgive my ignorance of this topic. I admit total ignorance, and being a man, I often can’t see things for looking!  Thumbs Up
