The IETF is an engineering organization, not a research lab. Most of
the funding will not go to activities that would traditionally be
described as research.
I am afraid this is not exact for two reasons. (1) I target by what is not
covered by the "most" (2) this is US nexus, each country has its own laws.
The point is not to dispute the international environment but to know the
name on the check.
