National Science Foundation in Arizona

NSF and Arizona as a coding pair

This page is a join of two USAspending.gov fields: awarding agency National Science Foundation (code 049) and place-of-performance Arizona. The extract sums to $1,250,983,070.21 on 832 awards. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not show that National Science Foundation spending caused Arizona outcomes, or that Arizona caused the federal award book.

The pair is not a league table of Tucson or Tempe campuses or a telescope inventory. Correlation of an agency label with a state code is not causation. Place-of-performance can follow a lead campus, an observatory site, or a research contractor. Work tagged to Arizona can involve parties elsewhere, and Arizona work can be coded to another state.

Higher Education R&D survey dollars, citation metrics, and patent counts are other products. Mixing any of those series with $1,250,983,070.21 leaves the USAspending award file. The 832 figure counts award records, including modifications present in the extract, not unique people, firms, or facilities.

Eight hundred thirty-two research rows under $1.25 billion

Eight hundred thirty-two awards under a $1.25 billion book is a midsize research tape. Dividing $1,250,983,070.21 by 832 awards yields an implied mean near $1,503,585. That quotient is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical award size and not a median. A few large vehicles can pull the average while many smaller rows sit below it.

Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both 832 and $1,250,983,070.21. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $1,503,585 as a product schedule or a beneficiary payment.

Later ingests can revise $1,250,983,070.21 and 832. This prose is a packet snapshot. The overlay is the live table. If those two disagree, use the overlay. Keep the obligation label so the cell is not read as cash already paid in Arizona.

Questions

How much NSF funding is obligated in Arizona?

USAspending.gov shows $1,250,983,070.21 in National Science Foundation obligations coded to Arizona across 832 awards. Awarding-agency 049 and Arizona place of performance define the join. The total is obligations, not outlays.

Which universities received the NSF Arizona total?

This packet does not name recipients. $1,250,983,070.21 and 832 awards are statewide coding totals. Recipient lists, if needed, belong on the overlay tables, still under the same obligation definition.

What is the average NSF award in Arizona?

The implied mean is about $1,503,585 from $1,250,983,070.21 divided by 832 awards. That quotient is blended across grant sizes. The packet has no median and no directorate split.

Are NSF obligations in Arizona the same as research outlays?

No. $1,250,983,070.21 is an obligation sum on 832 awards. Outlays are cash leaving the Treasury and can lag. SpendingVault does not convert this Arizona × NSF cell into cash.
