Department of Energy in North Carolina

Energy awards tagged to North Carolina

Department of Energy as awarding agency, North Carolina as place-of-performance: 322 records summing to $1,372,127,974.11. A Department of Energy award coded outside NC is out. An award in North Carolina from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. North Carolina (NC) excludes South Carolina, Virginia, Tennessee, and Georgia. A South Carolina-coded award is SC even if the site sits on the border.

Three hundred twenty-two records against $1,372,127,974.11 is a thin-to-mid Energy file, not a thick assistance flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 322 as 322 unique megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. The overlay Department of Energy in North Carolina is the both-keys table. North Carolina federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Energy is the agency book without an NC filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named Triangle labs are unpublished. Assigning $1,372,127,974.11 to a single campus is a new extract. Correlation is not causation: North Carolina did not cause $1,372,127,974.11 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 089 × NC only.

Not a Research Triangle lab census

$1,372,127,974.11 does not measure megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 089 and an NC place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 322 awards as a census of megawatts, lab headcount, or unique energy projects. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If North Carolina federal spending or Department of Energy matched $1,372,127,974.11 and 322, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. South Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee Energy joins are other pairs, not addends.
