public spending on nanotechnology R&D with funding with that of other governments because of differences in calculating and budgeting expen ditures. For example, how various governments define nanotechnology, invest through combinations of public and private funding, calculate indirect costs, and report R&D cost factors,including researchers'salaries,can differ from U.S.practice in connection with the NNI.

Data were not available to it that would allow the committee to comment on possible directions in venture capital funding in other countries. Infrastructure In addition to funding type and amount,R&D infrastructure,human resources, industry infrastructure, and industry readiness also represent important invest ments in nanotechnology development.
