No, I think we've seen more funding, the proportion of total research funding, go towards applied, commercializable research efforts. I think what's lacking in our ecosystem research-wise is funding for both applied and investigator-led, but in particular, basic investigator-led research. That's where we're really lacking. Some of that research will result in commercializable outcomes, but by funding only, or increasingly only, research with what is purported to have a clear commercializable aim, we are lacking some of that basic innovation.
