Sea Grant Support — CFDA 11.417
$695,928,976.45 in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for Sea Grant Support (CFDA 11.417). The listing carries 585 awards, 70 recipients, and a 35-jurisdiction geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of extension visits, research papers, or coastal communities served. Five hundred eighty-five awards against 70 named organizations is a university-consortium file on a 35-place coastal-and-Great-Lakes map, not a 50-state formula. The 35-jurisdiction map and 70 recipients describe a Sea Grant college file, and the $695,928,976.45 stock should be read only against CFDA 11.417.

Sea Grant obligations at $695,928,976.45
USAspending.gov records $695,928,976.45 in obligations under CFDA 11.417. Five hundred eighty-five awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $1,189,622 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical Sea Grant omnibus invoice and not a cost per extension contact. Other NOAA coastal listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $695,928,976.45.
The assistance-listing title is SEA GRANT SUPPORT. CFDA 11.417 is the identifier. Combining 11.417 with Coastal Zone Management or National Estuarine Research Reserve codes would invent a combined coastal total this packet does not contain. Read the $695,928,976.45 as the obligation book tagged 11.417 only.
70 recipients in 35 jurisdictions
Seventy recipients share 585 awards, or about 8.4 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $695,928,976.45 evenly would assign about $9.94 million per recipient. That density is a Sea Grant college pattern: a small named-consortium headcount carrying many assistance rows over time. The packet does not list the 70.
Thirty-five jurisdictions in the geographic count is a coastal-and-Great-Lakes map rather than a nationwide formula. Sea Grant dollars follow funded programs, not equal shares of inland states. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of extension agents or fishermen.
Award rows are not an extension census
Among Commerce listings, 11.417 is a high-row consortium file: 585 awards against 70 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of Sea Grant projects” and a worse proxy for people reached. Recipients (70) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (585) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.
The packet does not report extension contacts, aquaculture acres, or storm-resilience plans. Citing 585 as communities would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $695,928,976.45 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.
Obligations versus Sea Grant outlays
The $695,928,976.45 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Sea Grant Support awards — are not in the packet. A consortium file can show a large obligation stock while universities draw against omnibus and project years. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Use CFDA 11.417 to size this Sea Grant listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a coastal-community dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 11.417.
What the 11.417 tables omit
The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an extension log, not a fisheries-landings file, and not a coastal-hazard inventory. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $695,928,976.45. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 585 award rows.
Place-of-performance on 35 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of Sea Grant funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to Sea Grant colleges.
