Yes they do some but the Research Grants Program is on the order of $2-6M and GFI’s overall budget is around $42M, so only about 10% of their budget goes towards direct research. I would say a much bigger focus of their work is corporate, investor and policymaker engagement.
I would say they also do a fair amount of helping foster an alternative protein market, see eg $1 million dollars in Science and Technology (https://​​animalcharityevaluators.org/​​charity-review/​​the-good-food-institute/​​2021-nov/​​) and also has (or had) a research grant program (https://​​gfi.org/​​wp-content/​​uploads/​​2023/​​01/​​Research-Grant-Program-RFP-2023.pdf).
