National Science Foundation in Rhode Island

Foundation 049 overlapping Rhode Island

National Science Foundation as awarding agency, Rhode Island as place-of-performance: 396 records summing to $249,227,496. A National Science Foundation award coded outside RI is out. An award in Rhode Island from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Rhode Island (RI) excludes Massachusetts and Connecticut. A Westerly-coded award with a Connecticut place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

396 awards against $249,227,496 is a 396-award science-foundation file, thick in records against a $249.2 million cell. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 396 as 396 unique named grants, unique principal investigators, or publication counts. National Science Foundation in Rhode Island is the both-keys table. Rhode Island federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Science Foundation is the agency book without an RI 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Named grants, unique principal investigators, and publication counts stay unpublished.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: Rhode Island did not cause $249,227,496 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 049 × RI only.

NSF is not a PI census

$249,227,496 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 RI place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 396 awards as a census of named grants, unique principal investigators, or publication counts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Rhode Island federal spending or National Science Foundation matched $249,227,496 and 396, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state NSF joins are other pairs, not addends.
