  Currently, I have a National Science Foundation (social science) grant for about 35% of my time, spend about 20% doing non-research work for my university (teaching, service, etc.), and the remainder involves independent consulting, expert-witness work, and pro bono work.

  After spending most of my career in government I have chosen to focus most of my work (probably 90% or more) on working for non-profit organizations and university centers on a pro bono basis, although I am reimbursed for travel. For the remaining 10% or so of my efforts I work for industry clients and am paid for that work. So depending on how you define “funding” affects my answer. Since the term is used here in the context of potential conflict of interest or bias I have chosen “funding” to mean payment. However, if one defined “funding” to also include support for travel the percentages would be 10 - 50% industry, 10-50% non-profit organizations and 10-50% other (i.e. academia on a pro bono basis).
