Computer and Information Science and Engineering — CFDA 47.070

CISE obligations at $4.79 billion

USAspending.gov records $4,794,346,817 in obligations under CFDA 47.070. Five thousand nine hundred sixty-one awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $804,000 per award — typical of multi-year research grants rather than state block grants. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical project budget.

The assistance-listing title is COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING. CFDA 47.070 is the identifier. Other science listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $4.79 billion.

USAspending.gov records the $4,794,346,817 obligation stock for CFDA 47.070 together with 5,961 awards, 478 recipients, and 52 states. Keep CISE on 47.070 when quoting these four facts. Outlays remain a separate column.

Hundreds of recipients, thousands of awards

Four hundred seventy-eight recipients share 5,961 awards, or about 12.5 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $4.79 billion evenly would assign about $10.0 million per recipient. Universities and research organizations are the unit this kind of listing usually names; the packet does not list the 478.

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

Award count is not a paper count

Among research listings, 47.070 is a dense file: 5,961 rows against 478 recipients. Renewals and supplements can inflate award count relative to unique projects. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of computing studies.” Recipients (478) are the organizational headcount.

The packet does not report publications, students, or systems deployed. Citing 5,961 as papers or students would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus research outlays

The $4.79 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against CISE awards — are not in the packet. A laboratory can show a large obligation stock while draws follow a multi-year grant calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 47.070 tables omit

The CISE hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a publication index, not a student roster, and not a software catalog. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $4,794,346,817.

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 computing resources.

Where the CISE table lives

The Computer and Information Science and Engineering program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 47.070 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups. For 47.070 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 47.070’s 5,961 awards spread $4,794,346,817 across 478 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 12.5 award records per recipient is the density story. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. The four-fact citation for CFDA 47.070 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 47.070 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.
