One good address is all I need or phone number.

As you seem unwilling or unable to tell us where you live we can only guess, so assuming you live in the UK and indeed you are starting or running an engineering business try business link.

Googling the "value" of
matthew lesko
will prove informative . . .

So the "free money" stuff is a moot point.

RE: How to get study grants?
I have no interest in getting a grant for a house or schooling. I want a RESEARCH GRANT.
RE: How to get study grants?
For yourself as an individual or do you have a company?
Do you have a PhD? have you done research before?
Outside of an academic institution, almost all research grants are awarded thru the SBIR and STTR programs by US gov agencies such DoD, DoE, DoT. Look up on their web site for their SBIR/STTR programs. But most of those are pre-wired for someone, so they can be hard to win.

You should have mentioned more detail first, this could have been a 'green' thread.

PHD, so whats that have to do with research? I can name a long list of researchers in history that barely made it through high school. And not for a business, for me the researcher.
Why do you have to be a business to do research work? There would be no time for the headaches of a business.
The important part I feel should be the end results of the research.

You might try the Small Business Administration...they have a grant group that might be able to help you identify a funding source and they have guidelines on how to prepare grant proposals (which are key to getting someone to look at your idea).

They open to solicitation annually and are given by phase. I know they are somewhat tricky to get, best to get a grant writer.

A PhD is, by definition, a research degree. Ron has it right. Although you may not like or agree with the research conducted by PhD's in academic institutions, they are in large part the drivers of discovery and knowledge.
You very well may be brilliant and fully capable of conducting sound science; but you really ought to have been exposed to the process before jumping in.
And I am not a PhD, nor, quite frankly, do I have any interest in becoming a PhD. I prefer to practice than to research.

After doing some digging and making some phone calls, we found all sorts of information on how to apply for grants. The long and the short of it is: unless you are in a recognized minority group, you are a professor at a university, or you are some big corporation that's been tapped into government-funded R&D before, you are entitled to get bupkis from Uncle Sugar.

In short, grant writing and grant research is akin to getting a job.
