District of Columbia joined to CFDA 12.300
This page exists because two tables meet: Basic And Applied Scientific Research (CFDA 12.300) and District of Columbia (DC). USAspending.gov records $188,606,934.24 on 78 awards at that intersection. Correlation is not causation: District of Columbia did not cause $188,606,934.24 by existing as a large or small place. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell.
Basic And Applied Scientific Research in District of Columbia applies both keys. CFDA 12.300 is CFDA 12.300 without a District of Columbia filter. District of Columbia federal spending is all-program District of Columbia spending. District of Columbia programs lists other District of Columbia programs. All spending ties indexes other joins.

12.300 is not the NSF STEM-education catalog
CFDA 12.300 is BASIC AND APPLIED SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. Packet facts on the program side stop at the name Basic And Applied Scientific Research, the number 12.300, $188,606,934.24, and 78 awards. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names. Mixing this listing with STEM Education (47.076) and other research catalogs with different CFDA numbers would invent a combined total the packet never computed. BASIC AND APPLIED SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH is the catalog title. Seventy-eight awards is a seventy-eight-record research file, thicker than many one- or two-award overlays in this slice. The join does not convert dollars into laboratories, investigators, or campuses. Neighbor-state basic and applied scientific research joins are other pairs.
Basic And Applied Scientific Research is a Department of Defense assistance catalog in the CFDA book, not NSF STEM Education (47.076). The District has a 47.076 overlay in this harvest; mixing the two invents a combined research total. Seventy-eight records against $188,606,934.24 yield a low-seven-figure implied mean, not a typical lab invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. A 12.300 award tagged to Virginia is a different cell. Keep CFDA 12.300 and the District of Columbia together.
