Both groups are quite big and may fund more than you think; not that the grantors always get what they think they're getting or are the only people who are then allowed to draw upon the research. For example, consider "stereotype threat", much beloved of social-justice types for explaining how bad white people keep test scores low for women and blacks; you can see the NSF certainly has been involved in that research in the past just with a cursory google: http://scholar.google.com/scholar?q=%22stereotype%20threat%22%20%22National%20Science%20Foundation%22 (I count ~4 NSF grants attested to just from the snippet-view for the first page).
