its anecdotal, based on what I see and hear when applying for grants and talking to colleagues, which is why i said it was just my own estimate. There is ~$80-90B spent in the USA on medical research. ~$50-60B is big pharma R&D; ~$30B is public (NIH); a few scraps and leftovers from charities and private foundations
