National Science Foundation is the awarding-agency side; New Mexico is the geography side. 278 awards against $253,758,522 is a 278-award science-foundation file, thicker in records than many state-agency cells. The implied mean near $912,800.44 is $253,758,522 divided by 278. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • National Science Foundation obligated $253,758,522 in New Mexico across 278 awards (USAspending.gov).
  • The pair is awarding-agency 049 × place-of-performance NM.
  • Amounts are obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is in this packet.
  • The implied mean near $912,800.44 is $253,758,522 divided by 278, not a typical award.
  • The join does not name contractors and does not measure named grants, unique principal investigators, or publication counts.

Foundation 049 overlapping New Mexico

National Science Foundation as awarding agency, New Mexico as place-of-performance: 278 records summing to $253,758,522. A National Science Foundation award coded outside NM is out. An award in New Mexico from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah. A Las Cruces-coded award with a Texas place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

278 awards against $253,758,522 is a 278-award science-foundation file, thicker in records than many state-agency cells. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 278 as 278 unique named grants, unique principal investigators, or publication counts. National Science Foundation in New Mexico is the both-keys table. New Mexico federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Science Foundation is the agency book without an NM filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named grants, unique principal investigators, and publication counts stay unpublished. Do not invent university or contractor names. Correlation is not causation: New Mexico did not cause $253,758,522 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 049 × NM only.

NSF is not a publication census

$253,758,522 does not measure named grants, unique principal investigators, or publication counts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 049 and an NM place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 278 awards as a census of named grants, unique principal investigators, or publication counts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Mexico federal spending or National Science Foundation matched $253,758,522 and 278, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state NSF joins are other pairs, not addends.
