The government was the source for nearly all R&D expenditures
at public organizations in FY2001,with the private-sector funding accounting
for only about1%.
And the total R&D expenditures at government research institutions
decreased by2.1%against the previous fiscal year to1.4820trillion yen,representing
about9%of Japan's total R&D expenditures.When looking at expenditure
by type of institution,national-government owned research institutions,on the
one hand,witnessed sharp declines along with their transformation into independent
administrative institutions,and public institutions overall registered declines,despite
increases at public corporations and independent administrative institutions (Figure2-1-23).
