The British government spends somewhat over 100 million dollars on all research for Great Britain, as compared with the United States spending four billion, six hundred million this year for reserch in the NIH and the Mental Health Administration. That includes about 300 million roughly for mental health centers, so that it's not really all research money, but let's say it's in the area of 4.3 billion dollars of research support in the United States, federal support, to say nothing of the research funds that there are in the Navy, Army and Air Forces and the Defense Department.
