Geosciences in Oregon

Oregon x 47.050 is a geosciences join, not a field-site census

This page pairs CFDA 47.050, GEOSCIENCES, with Oregon place of performance. The listing covers NSF geosciences research and related activities, not USGS operations under a different agency catalog and not every NSF directorate. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $507,181,986 on 113 awards. The extract does not list investigators, institutions, or disciplines. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more geology, and not a claim that 113 awards equal 113 laboratories.

Other NSF listings — other directorates or education programs — sit outside $507,181,986 unless they also carry 47.050. Mixing geosciences with those codes would invent a combined NSF figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and earthquake risk is not causation. Hazard data are not in the packet. Place of performance as Oregon locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $507,181,986 in university accounts.

113 awards behind $507.2 million

Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible continuations and supplements. It is not a census of labs, investigators, or field sites. Mean obligation is about $4,488,336 if $507,181,986 were divided evenly across 113 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a typical NSF grant size, and not a published cost per expedition. The packet has no ocean-versus-solid-earth split inside 47.050.

One hundred thirteen lines are scannable on an overlay but still too many to narrate one by one. Sort the Oregon 47.050 overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent institution names. Open Geosciences in Oregon for the stored table. Do not convert 113 into a map of Oregon field sites. The $507,181,986 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Questions

How much NSF geosciences funding is obligated in Oregon?

USAspending.gov shows $507,181,986 in obligations for CFDA 47.050 with Oregon as place of performance, across 113 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Oregon's full research budget. Other NSF listings are outside this join unless they also carry 47.050.

Do 113 awards mean 113 Oregon laboratories?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations and supplements. It is not a lab, investigator, or field-site census. The packet does not name institutions. See the Oregon 47.050 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this Oregon's entire federal science funding?

No. The join is CFDA 47.050, Geosciences, crossed with Oregon place of performance. Other NSF directorates and USGS programs use different listings. Those dollars are not inside $507,181,986 unless the award also carries 47.050.

Is $507 million already spent on Oregon field work?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $507,181,986 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
