# Funding research

Funding is jurisdiction- and program-specific. Start with the jurisdiction tree, verify the responsible agency, and record the source and verification date. Listing a program never guarantees eligibility, authorization, or payment.

For another country, territory, state, province, or locality, copy the research method—not Minnesota's rules. Volatile facts such as deadlines, dollar limits, models, and program rules belong in dated, source-attributed research notes.
