... what will happen to this funding if we do end up leaving the single market. Which seems likely to happen as that's an under pinning principle of the EU and EEC... [?]
Whatever the campaign may have said and whatever people may have thought they were voting for, I really, really struggle to see how a Conservative lead government it going to negotiate to reduce free trade/markets.
All the Brexit Torys I know envisage a tax haven financial services hub with global free trade deals left right and centre.

Hmmm, I don't remember saying abandon R&D. As I understand it from the news, isn't quite a lot of the funding for R&D (I include sciences in this) coming from EU partnerships? And what will happen to this funding if we do end up leaving the single market. Which seems likely to happen as that's an under pinning principle of the EU and EEC, and quite clearly the Brexit vote seems to have been won on the premis of shutting down our borders.
I really hope that Germany still wants our engineering exports once this debacle settles down - according to the government's figures they're our largest engineering customer.
