In order to achieve these objectives, it receives financial support from the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR). The amount of received money is based on the volume of partnerial research lead with socio-economic partners. Higher industrial revenues five rise to higher financial support, in order to reach the objectives of progress.
These objectives aim at:
- ensuring scientific resourcing,

- developping partnership with companies,
- improving the Carnot network integration..

The Carnot framework has been established in 2006. The three RTD institutes, namely, the LETI, the LITEN (within the ‘Energies du Futur’ Carnot) and the LIST have received the Carnot label, and they receive an annual grant, whose amount is based on the volume of partenarial research lead with socio-economic partners. Higher industrial revenues five rise to higher financial support. The TRD has received increasing Carnot grants (14,2 M€ in 2006 et 16,3 M€ in 2007 et 16,7M€ in 2008).

These Carnot grants allow the TRD to finance mainly two types of programs: the Carnot resourcing projects, and the Carnot Innovation Challenge.
