NOTES: Separate data on foreign sources of R&D funding unavailable for United States but included in sector totals. In most other countries, "foreign sources of funding" is a distinct and separate funding category. For some countries (such as Canada), foreign firms are the source for a large amount of foreign R&D funding, reported as funding from abroad. In United States, industrial R&D funding from foreign firms reported as industry. Data unavailable for Italy.
