Environmental and Scientific Partnerships and Programs — CFDA 19.017

Partnership dollars on 179 award records

Assistance listing 19.017 is titled ENVIRONMENTAL AND SCIENTIFIC PARTNERSHIPS AND PROGRAMS in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $880,349,185.99. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $880.3M as fieldwork already completed mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

179 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $880,349,185.99 by 179 produces a mean near $4.92 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical partnership budget and not a cost per site. Environmental and scientific partnership dollars often sit on a modest number of organizational assistance actions, which is why 179 records can carry $880.3M.

108 recipients and a 0-state geography field

CFDA 19.017 lists 108 recipients and 0 states against 179 awards. Recipient count is not unique researchers. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. A partner organization can appear on more than one award; 108 is not a census of laboratories. The stored state count is 0. That is a file statistic: place-of-performance geography is blank or unstored in this packet, not proof the work occurred nowhere.

179 awards against 108 recipients averages about 1.7 award records per recipient. Extra modifications can lift the 179 tally without moving $880,349,185.99 much. The 19.017 hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so a zero state field is not read as a zero-dollar program.

Obligations versus partnership outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $880,349,185.99 figure for CFDA 19.017 can include commitments that will disburse later. A diplomatic program report, a scientific-cooperation ledger, and a Treasury outlay series are different publications. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing—especially a state map—the usual cause is a different reporting concept or a geography field stored as 0. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 19.017 program page. Do not stretch 179 awards or 108 recipients to cover every federal dollar that touches environmental or scientific partnerships.

What the 19.017 tables omit

The environmental and scientific partnerships hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a country roster, not a treaty file, and not a domestic state map—the stored state count is 0. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $880,349,185.99. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 179 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 0 states is a coding field. Awards can still exist without a stored U.S. state cell. Read the program page before inferring geography from the dollar total.

How to cite CFDA 19.017

A complete citation is $880,349,185.99 in obligations for CFDA 19.017, covering 179 awards, 108 recipients, and 0 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. If the question is geography, lead with the 0-state field, then 179 awards and 108 recipients, then the $880.3M total.

Start with the Environmental and Scientific Partnerships and Programs page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total. Nothing here is a grant-application instruction.

A worked reading of the 19.017 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $880,349,185.99, 179 awards, 108 recipients, and 0 states under CFDA 19.017. The mean near $4.92 million is a quotient from the award count, not a typical partnership invoice. If a later USAspending.gov file adds large actions, dollars can jump while 108 recipients barely move. If the state field stays at 0, that is still a stored fact, not a reason to drop the $880.3M obligation total.

Nothing in the extract splits environmental from scientific activities, or domestic from overseas place-of-performance. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 19.017 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 179 awards, 108 recipients, and 0 states next to the dollars so the empty geography field is visible.
