When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

Thank you G. I couldn't find "funder" as such in various dictionaries I looked. It's a very fine line whether pharmaceutical funding is commercially motivated. I'm inclined to say that it is.

Since no credible text was given, one could be talking of :
investor, mortgagor, finance provider, speculator

: The context is medical. Pharmaceutical companies financing medical trials ("sponsors") very rarely want their money back, and therefore are not lenders.

Demetris, do you know the expression,' one swallow does not make Spring?'. So it is here. One word does nor make much sense. Look at my note, above. I also said, 'finance provider'!! which fits better with ο χορηγός - χρηματοδότης

sponsor

: Αναφέρεται ήδη ο «χορηγός» - ίσως «financing sponsor».

'Ερευνητές', indeed have SPONSORS or 'FUND PROVIDERS'.
