Since the beginning?

As far as I can understand, they do very little research, and most of even
that was Mr. Iva's assembly of the "grammar of literary V=C3=B5ro".  But it=
's
fully staffed by V=C3=B5ro identity activists, and its purpose is asserting=
 that
identity.

Ethnologic research is mostly done by other entities, such as the Museum of
Literature, the National Museum, and several teams at the Tartu University
and the Tallinn University.  A good (if slightly dated) overview is <
http://www.archimedes.ee/teadus/eval/social_anthropology.pdf>; Archimedes i=
s
a central state-run foundation that manages development of the educational
and research infrastructure in all fields.  The main difference between the
situation in 2002 and now is that numerous educational and research
institutions in Tallinn have merged into a single Tallinn University.

As an indication of V=C3=B5ro Institute's quantity of research, ETIS (which
tracks research grants of all major science funds active in Estonia) lists =
a
total of three grants for them. Two (EKRM07-94 and
EKKM09-99) are 'Compiling Estonian-V=C3=B5ro dictionary', one (EKKM09-174) =
is
'Southeastern Estonian part of the book of names of Estonian places'. There
are three more grants associated with Sulev Iva: ETF5968 is 'Grammar of
Estonian dialects', conducted by the Estonian Language Institute;
SF0182572s03 and SF0180076s08 are research of development, phonetics,
phonology and morphophonology of Fenno-Ugric languages conducted by Tartu
University's Faculty of Philosophy (which for historical reasons covers all
philology research); Iva is listed as an associated person but not among th=
e
people conducting research.  For comparison, ETIS lists 39 grants for the
Estonian Language Institute, the first from 2003 (SF0052488s03, 'Lexic and
grammatic structure of modern Estonian language') and 54 grants for the
Estonian Museum of Literature, the first from 2003.
