Science in District of Columbia

What CFDA 43.001 crossed with DC actually is

CFDA 43.001 is titled SCIENCE. Filtered to District of Columbia place of performance, obligations sum to $229,486,666.46 on 254 awards. The national 43.001 hub has no DC filter. The District’s spending hub has no CFDA filter. This tie is the intersection. $229,486,666.46 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of spacecraft or investigators.

Aeronautics, space technology, and exploration catalogs use different NASA CFDA numbers. Mixing them into $229,486,666.46 would invent a broader NASA total than this cell contains. Packet facts are $229,486,666.46, 254 awards, DC, and 43.001. Correlation is not causation. The catalog title is the word Science, not a claim that every science grant in the District is NASA.

Two hundred fifty-four awards under DC Science

254 awards against $229,486,666.46 yield a simple mean near $903,491. The facts do not publish a median, a range, or unique recipients. 254 is a record count in an aggregate, not 254 laboratories and not 254 missions. Headquarters-area awards can include associations, universities, and other assistance instruments tagged to a District address.

Treat the mean as arithmetic, not as a typical grant size. Unique recipient names are unpublished and are not invented here. Downward modifications, if they exist in the raw file, are already netted into the total supplied in the facts. Do not annualize $229,486,666.46; this packet publishes no year field.
