Science — CFDA 43.001

Science obligations at $5.68 billion

USAspending.gov records $5,681,029,974.19 in obligations under CFDA 43.001. Nine thousand seventy-one awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $626,000 per award — smaller than typical state block grants and consistent with a research file that posts many competitive actions. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical investigation budget.

The assistance-listing title is SCIENCE. CFDA 43.001 is the identifier. Other science listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $5.68 billion.

USAspending.gov records the $5,681,029,974.19 obligation stock for CFDA 43.001 together with 9,071 awards, 628 recipients, and 52 states. Keep Science on 43.001 when quoting these four facts. Outlays remain a separate column.

Hundreds of recipients, thousands of awards

Six hundred twenty-eight recipients share 9,071 awards, or about 14.4 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $5.68 billion evenly would assign about $9.0 million per recipient. Research organizations are the unit this kind of listing usually names; the packet does not list the 628.

Fifty-two states in the geographic count show nationwide coding in the USAspending state field. Science dollars still concentrate at large research campuses. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a mission count

Among research listings, 43.001 is an outlier on award count: 9,071 rows against 628 recipients. Renewals and related actions can inflate award count relative to unique investigations. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of science projects.” Recipients (628) are the organizational headcount.

The packet does not report publications, instruments, or flight manifests. Citing 9,071 as missions or papers would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus research outlays

The $5.68 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Science awards — are not in the packet. An institution can show a large obligation stock while draws follow a multi-year grant calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 43.001 tables omit

The Science hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a publication index, not an instrument catalog, and not a flight schedule. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $5,681,029,974.19.

Place-of-performance on 52 states is a coding field. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on hardware or staff.

Where the Science table lives

The Science program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 43.001 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups. For 43.001 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 43.001’s 9,071 awards spread $5,681,029,974.19 across 628 recipients and 52 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 14.4 award records per recipient is the density story. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. The four-fact citation for CFDA 43.001 is the obligation stock on this extract, together with the award, recipient, and state counts already named above. Do not convert those figures into outlays, and do not treat award count as a service census. Start on the program page for CFDA 43.001 before ranking this listing against other assistance rows. Obligations remain the reporting concept on this extract; outlays are not stored in the packet facts. Award count is a record count; recipient count is the organizational headcount; the state figure is a coded-jurisdiction count from USAspending.gov. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the obligation stock; this page does not publish remaining balances. Internal links on this overlay point to the program page, the all-programs index, and agency rollups. SpendingVault indexes USAspending.gov assistance awards; it does not convert this CFDA into a performance scorecard. If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept than obligations on assistance awards. Name the series as obligations whenever you quote the dollar stock, the award count, the recipient field, or the state count.
