Research Projects in Philosophy
Research in philosophy is funded by universities and the Swiss National Science Foundation. The latter has a very convenient database, with "lay summaries" on all the research projects funded. This is where the following information was compiled (as of the 1st of February 2012), of which you find a pdf version here.
The number of the program allows you to find the lay summary of the corresponding project in the SNFS database.
If there are research projects funded by non-SNFS (e.g. private or European) sources, please tell us.
