How much did NSF obligate in FY2025?

USAspending.gov records $8,423,643,644.89 in National Science Foundation obligations for FY2025 under agency 049. That yearlyTrend amount is not an outlay and not the $41,750,201,192.18 extract-wide total. Keep National Science Foundation and FY2025 on the same citation as $8,423,643,644.89.

Why is FY2025 below NSF's all-year total?

FY2025 is 20.2% of $41,750,201,192.18. Other fiscal years for agency 049 are other cells, and FY figures can be incomplete. Do not treat the gap as a canceled-directorate list. 37,477 is the agency extract award-record count, not a FY2025 headcount.

Are 37,477 awards FY2025 NSF grants?

No. 37,477 is NSF's extract-wide award-record count, not a FY2025 census. Campuses are unpublished. Obligations of $8,423,643,644.89 are not outlays. The pair is agency 049 plus FY2025. The pair is agency 049 plus FY2025.

Does this name principal investigators?

No. $8,423,643,644.89 is an obligation aggregate with no recipient list. Outlays are unpublished. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. USAspending.gov remains the source for agency 049 in FY2025. The pair is agency 049 plus FY2025.

USAspending.gov records $8,423,643,644.89 in National Science Foundation obligations for fiscal year 2025. On toptier 049, that yearlyTrend row is 20.2% of NSF's $41,750,201,192.18 extract-wide total. The pair is NSF plus FY2025, not a PI census and not research cash already drawn. Agency 049 publishes 37,477 award records in this extract; that count is not a FY2025-only grant list.

Key figures

USAspending records $8,423,643,644.89 in NSF FY2025 obligations (agency 049).
FY2025 is 20.2% of NSF's $41,750,201,192.18 extract-wide total.
37,477 award records are extract-wide, not a FY2025 grant census.
No campuses, investigators, or outlays are in this packet.

NSF's FY2025 yearlyTrend cell

Agency 049 and fiscal year 2025 meet here. $8,423,643,644.89 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on that pair, not the $41,750,201,192.18 all-year NSF book, not every federal science dollar in FY2025, and not an outlay. Directorates are unpublished. The source note says FY figures can be incomplete.

FY2025 is a smaller published cell than NSF's FY2024 yearlyTrend row in this harvest. That contrast is two year keys, not a named-directorate shutdown. This packet names no campuses. Correlation with paper counts is not causation.

FY2025 versus NSF's extract-wide book

20.2% of $41,750,201,192.18 is tagged to FY2025. The National Science Foundation hub (/agencies/049/) omits the year filter. FY2025 federal spending (/fiscal-years/2025/) omits the 049 filter. Do not add those parents into $8,423,643,644.89.

Do not add FY2024's NSF cell into this one. Later ingests can restate FY2025. Cite obligations, not outlays.
