STEM Education (formerly Education and Human Resources) — CFDA 47.076

STEM-education obligations at $6.13 billion

USAspending.gov records $6,125,674,147 in obligations under CFDA 47.076. Four thousand six hundred five awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $1.33 million per award — typical of multi-year education-research grants rather than one annual action per state. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical fellowship stipend.

The assistance-listing title is STEM EDUCATION (FORMERLY EDUCATION AND HUMAN RESOURCES). CFDA 47.076 is the identifier. Other education or science listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $6.13 billion. Mixing those codes would invent a combined STEM total this packet does not contain.

USAspending.gov records the $6,125,674,147 obligation stock for CFDA 47.076 together with 4,605 awards, 1,127 recipients, and 55 states. Keep STEM Education on 47.076 when quoting these four facts. Outlays remain a separate column.

More than a thousand recipients

One thousand one hundred twenty-seven recipients share 4,605 awards, or about 4.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $6.13 billion evenly would assign about $5.4 million per recipient. Universities, colleges, and related organizations are the unit this kind of listing usually names; the packet does not list the 1,127. Recipient count is the better organizational headcount than award count.

Fifty-five states in the geographic count show nationwide coding in the USAspending state field, including territories in the coded-jurisdiction set. STEM-education dollars still concentrate at large research campuses. The state count does not flatten those differences. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a student count

Among science-education listings, 47.076 is a dense file: 4,605 rows against 1,127 recipients. Renewals, supplements, and related actions can inflate award count relative to unique projects. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of students trained.” Recipients (1,127) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (4,605) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report enrollment, degree completions, or teacher counts. Citing 4,605 as classrooms or fellowships would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus education-research cash

The $6.13 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against STEM-education 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. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 47.076 to size the STEM Education listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a workforce or enrollment dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 47.076.

What the 47.076 tables omit

The STEM Education hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a student roster, not a course catalog, and not a fellowship directory. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $6,125,674,147. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 4,605 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 55 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on stipends or instruction.

Where the STEM Education table lives

The STEM Education program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 47.076 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other science listings. For 47.076 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 47.076’s 4,605 awards spread $6,125,674,147 across 1,127 recipients and 55 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About $1.33 million per award is the density story on this education-research listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. The four-fact citation for CFDA 47.076 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.

Questions

How much is obligated for STEM Education?

USAspending.gov records $6,125,674,147 in obligations for CFDA 47.076. SpendingVault indexes 4,605 awards, 1,127 recipients, and 55 states. The figure is an obligation sum from assistance awards, not an outlay and not a student count. CFDA 47.076’s $6.13 billion is the USAspending obligation stock.

How many awards does CFDA 47.076 carry?

How many organizations receive STEM Education awards?

The extract lists 1,127 recipients. Those are organizational recipients on assistance awards tagged 47.076. Geographic coding covers 55 states. The packet does not name the 1,127 or publish enrollment. Recipient count is the organizational headcount. USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault are the source for this obligation stock.

Is $6.13 billion already spent on STEM education?

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. CFDA 47.076’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report cash drawn, remaining balances, or degrees awarded. The $6.13 billion on 4,605 awards is the obligation figure.
