Well, I'm pretty sure you have to get the funding before you do your research--then your project history helps you get more funding to do additional research...
I don't know whether you're working in a place where you can access the full articles, or just the abstracts, but the Acknowledgements section at the end of such articles will have a list of the funding source--like this:
This study was funded by Grand Teton National Park and the Biological Resources Division of the US Geological Survey under Cooperative Agreement no. 01CRAG0031, the Wildlife Conservation Society, the National Wildlife Research Center at Utah State University, and the NatureFlight Foundation.
(The International Wolf Center might also be a source of funding for your character's research.)
