A method of funding of Research and Development projects which allows financial market investors to invest in R&D projects. The method addresses the two existing problems of: (i) Lack of financial information with regards to R&D projects, and (ii) High risk of investments in R&D projects, faced by the financial market investors. The method comprises of doing a financial valuation of intellectual properties expected to result from the research projects, creating financial instruments representing ownership of financial interest in intellectual properties (thereby giving the choice to the investors to make investment as per their risk profile and reduce the perceived risk), pricing these financial instruments, producing financial information necessary for an investor to make investment in these instruments and offering the instruments for sale along with the financial information. Funds generated from sale of these instruments are then used for carrying out the R&D project further.
