Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences — CFDA 47.075

SBE obligations at $821,657,263

USAspending.gov records $821,657,263 in obligations under CFDA 47.075. Two thousand one hundred seventy-six awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $377,600 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical NSF award size in every directorate and not a cost per publication. Other National Science Foundation listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $821,657,263.

The assistance-listing title is SOCIAL, BEHAVIORAL, AND ECONOMIC SCIENCES. CFDA 47.075 is the identifier. Combining 47.075 with NSF Education and Human Resources or Biological Sciences codes would invent a combined NSF total this packet does not contain. Read the $821,657,263 as the obligation book tagged 47.075 only.

355 recipients on 2,176 award rows

Three hundred fifty-five recipients share 2,176 awards, or about 6.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $821,657,263 evenly would assign about $2.31 million per recipient. That density is a university-research pattern: a moderate named-institution headcount carrying many assistance rows over time. The packet does not list the 355.

Fifty-two jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus a couple of extra coded entities. SBE dollars follow funded investigators’ institutions, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of social scientists.

Award rows are not a publication census

Among NSF listings, 47.075 is a high-row research file: 2,176 awards against 355 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of SBE projects” and a worse proxy for papers produced. Recipients (355) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (2,176) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report citations, survey n-sizes, or data deposits. Citing 2,176 as studies would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $821,657,263 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus SBE outlays

The $821,657,263 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences awards — are not in the packet. A research file can show a large obligation stock while draws follow multi-year grant periods. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Use CFDA 47.075 to size this SBE listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a research-output dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 47.075.

What the 47.075 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a publication database, not a survey archive, and not a faculty roster. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $821,657,263. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 2,176 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 52 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of SBE funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to universities.

Where the 47.075 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 47.075 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other NSF listings. For 47.075 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 47.075’s 2,176 awards spread $821,657,263 across 355 recipients and 52 jurisdictions. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 6.1 award records per recipient is the density story. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

A researcher comparing 47.075 with other NSF directorate codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The 355-recipient headcount on 2,176 awards is a high-row university-research fingerprint: about 6.1 award records per recipient. Quote $821,657,263 as the USAspending obligation stock for Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences only. Publications, survey n-sizes, and data deposits remain outside the packet. Outlays are a separate column on this extract.
