National Science Foundation in Alaska

How Alaska and National Science Foundation share one cell

Awarding agency 049 and place-of-performance state AK meet here. $272,639,244.96 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not National Science Foundation's nationwide budget, not Alaska's entire federal inflow, and not cash already paid. NSF in Alaska is a research-grant cell, not a polar-logistics census and not a Fairbanks lab roster. Campus-lab and research-grant folklore and bush-community and polar-logistics folklore may send a reader here. Those stories are not packet NAICS and not a census of universities or polar stations.

130 award actions sit behind that dollar figure — a modest award list beside a large obligation total. A mid-size row list can mix large instruments with smaller service awards. The join does not rank Alaska against other states and does not name campuses inside the extract. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Reading 130 awards against $272,639,244.96

Dividing $272,639,244.96 by 130 yields about $2,097,224.96 per award on average. That average hides contracts, grants, and other instruments. It is not a typical research award. A second NSF slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Alaska's 049 total as a synonym for every National Science Foundation bureau account.

Campus-lab and research-grant folklore is a coding conversation, not a packet field. Agency names and recipient rows live on the overlay table, not in this narrative's extra columns. Bush-community and polar-logistics folklore may explain a search path. It does not add dollars.
