Hi all,
I've just looked up "funding" and "fund" in Online Oxford Dictionary,
With "funding", it showed: "money for a particular purpose; the act of providing money for such a purpose"
With "fund", it showed: "an amount of money that has been saved or has been made available for a particular purpose"
Both of them have the same meaning that is money for a particular purpose.
So I wonder if we can put "fund" instead of "funding" in this sentence:
There have been large cuts in government funding for scientific research.
Does "funding" in that sentence mean "the act of providing money" or "money for a particular purpose"?
Thanks alot
