National Science Foundation in New York

NSF awards tagged to New York

National Science Foundation as awarding agency, New York as place-of-performance: 2,608 records summing to $2,373,328,808.78. A National Science Foundation award coded outside NY is out. An award in New York from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New York (NY) excludes New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont. A Princeton-coded award is NJ, not this cell. Research directorates inside NSF are unpublished splits on awarding agency 049.

Two thousand six hundred eight awards is a mid-count NSF file: thicker than a thin Commerce cell, still a record count rather than unique labs. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 2,608 as 2,608 unique principal investigators, unique campuses, or named directorates. The overlay National Science Foundation in New York is the both-keys table. New York federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Science Foundation is the agency book without an NY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Columbia, Cornell, NYU, and Buffalo are not named recipients here. Assigning $2,373,328,808.78 to a single campus is a new extract. Correlation is not causation: New York did not “cause” $2,373,328,808.78 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 049 × NY only.

Not a university ranking or PI census

$2,373,328,808.78 does not measure principal investigators, unique campuses, or named directorates. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 049 and an NY place-of-performance tag. Research directorates inside NSF are unpublished splits on awarding agency 049.

Do not treat 2,608 awards as a census of principal investigators, unique campuses, or named directorates. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New York federal spending or National Science Foundation matched $2,373,328,808.78 and 2,608, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Massachusetts NSF joins are other pairs, not addends.
