The early stage research on 9ds was funded by the ACS.
It's possible to fund early state research using money from foundations, etc. But that wasn't the assertion given by the parent post - it was that the majority of early stage research is both non-corporate and non-government funded.

I'm very skeptical of that claim.

Agreed.
