I am surprised that NTP project is not funded, fully or partially, by larger organizations or governments, given the criticality of the project.

Why is research into the protocol useful. Isn't it done?

Time is hard, time synchronization is arguably harder.

The project isn't about research it's about creating a reference implementation
