National Science Foundation in Ohio

NSF awards tagged to Ohio

This page is a join of two USAspending.gov fields: awarding agency National Science Foundation (code 049) and place-of-performance Ohio. The extract sums to $1,161,592,062.09 on 819 awards. Those facts describe a coding intersection. They do not show that National Science Foundation spending caused Ohio outcomes, or that Ohio caused the federal award book.

The pair is not a league table of Columbus, Cleveland, or Cincinnati campuses. Correlation of an agency label with a state code is not causation. Place-of-performance can follow a lead campus, a research lab, or a contractor. Work tagged to Ohio can involve parties elsewhere, and Ohio work can be coded to another state.

Higher Education R&D survey dollars, citation metrics, and patent counts are other products. Mixing any of those series with $1,161,592,062.09 leaves the USAspending award file. The 819 figure counts award records, including modifications present in the extract, not unique people, firms, or facilities.

Eight hundred nineteen research rows under $1.16 billion

Eight hundred nineteen awards under a $1.16 billion book is a midsize research tape. Dividing $1,161,592,062.09 by 819 awards yields an implied mean near $1,418,305. That quotient is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical award size and not a median. A few large vehicles can pull the average while many smaller rows sit below it.

Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both 819 and $1,161,592,062.09. USAspending.gov is the source. SpendingVault does not recast $1,418,305 as a product schedule or a beneficiary payment.

Later ingests can revise $1,161,592,062.09 and 819. This prose is a packet snapshot. The overlay is the live table. If those two disagree, use the overlay. Keep the obligation label so the cell is not read as cash already paid in Ohio.

How much NSF funding is obligated in Ohio?

USAspending.gov shows $1,161,592,062.09 in National Science Foundation obligations coded to Ohio across 819 awards. Awarding-agency 049 and Ohio place of performance define the join. The total is obligations, not outlays.

Which universities received the NSF Ohio total?

This packet does not name recipients. $1,161,592,062.09 and 819 awards are statewide coding totals. Recipient lists, if needed, belong on the overlay tables, still under the same obligation definition.

What is the average NSF award in Ohio?

The implied mean is about $1,418,305 from $1,161,592,062.09 divided by 819 awards. That quotient is blended across grant sizes. The packet has no median and no directorate split.

Are NSF obligations in Ohio the same as research outlays?

No. $1,161,592,062.09 is an obligation sum on 819 awards. Outlays are cash leaving the Treasury and can lag. SpendingVault does not convert this Ohio × NSF cell into cash.
