“…In the context where the literature also suggests that early career academics may have less funding success, at least in the sciences (Mai et al 2013), there was a fair range of career stages represented: senior, mid-and early career (see Table 1). Career-stage can be a fluid understanding though; I felt that some of those who referred to themselves as mid-career could be regarded as senior in the position that they held, and as one lecturer remarked: 'I worked for 20 years outside academia before entering and I found myself being identified as somebody in the early stages of their career'.…”

“…Others have carried out analyses of funding acknowledgements for academic journal articles 1 and/or surveyed article authors, usually USA science/medical-based, and found a good proportion of these are based on unfunded research. Examples range from 23 to 84 per cent depending on the discipline concerned and the methodology used in the analysis Moore 1993, 1995;Stein, Rubenstein, and Wachtel 1993;Mai et al 2013). There are indications that unfunded research may hidden away in funded grant time (Stein, Rubenstein, and Wachtel 1993), or undertaken at evenings and at weekends, with particular detriment to women, and perhaps with institutional tacit approval (Barrett and Barrett 2011;Kernohan 2015;Mai et al 2013).…”

This article explores the understandings of academics who carry out unfunded research and the nature of their academic identity, in a context where research funding is realigned to government and corporate needs, and the academic career is recast as an entrepreneurial project. It draws on in-depth interviews with academics working in UK universities, at different career stages in a range of disciplines. Main findings include that research is 'self-funded' rather than unfunded, and that participants often decided not to apply for external funding. A major reason for this was a sense of resistance motivated by intellectual creativity and flexible autonomy. At the same time, unfunded research also could be compliance with a neo-liberalised university agenda, viewed as entrepreneurial. Unfunded research can be viewed as a way of managing tensions between wanting and needing to do research, throwing light on the identity of being a contemporary intellectualentrepreneurial academic in the neo-liberalised university.

“…22 Moreover, a considerable number of highquality studies in cardiovascular research are conducted without direct financial support, especially by young clinical investigators. 23 The present study has some limitations and strengths. First, we analyzed the corresponding author country of origin as a proxy of native language.…”
