During 2007, a final draft of the report was completed which describes the various methods of budgeting and funding systems of higher education and research from public and other sources. This draft was circulated among experts in the field and amended accordingly. The first draft was extended and enlarged with a focus on three different themes:
- The personal contribution – the "story" behind.
- Theoretical and methodological assumptions.
- Ways of operation and technical methods.
The study relates to various institutions and methods, which include: The Israel Science Foundation, the First program; the budgeting model at the Planning and Grants Committee, and various other sources.
