There are numerous examples stretching far back into history and just as many modern day ones. As a general rule the values of a society will determine what sort of research is acceptable, and there by get funding.
For instance:
Under the authority of the church, the heliocentric model of the solar system was deliberately repressed.
Up until the early 1900's, it was still illegal in many countries to desecrate a corpse and so scientists and doctors didn't have much access to bodies for tests or studies, having to rely on grave robbers or so called "body snatchers" to break into fresh graves and sell the body to the lab/university in secret.
In more modern times cloning and stem-cell research are topics of much debate over whether or not they are ethical, and so most of the advances have happened in countries where the laws are less strict or the governments can be paid off.
