Hmm...Wikipidea says "$135.110B in R&D spending" for federal funds.
Now that was 2015, but the number is very similar the EU figure of €136 billion.
There will be be differences, but the point stands that comparing the tiny delta provided by this specific program to total spending is not serious.
- perihelions 1y agoRight; that's the federal government spending, while the other's combined R&D from all sources (aligning with 'mpweiher 's comment and their metric). The nsf.gov page has a breakdown table, too, of government vs. industry spending.
- mpweiher 1y agoThat turns out not to be the case. The €136 billion was EU + national governments.
