National Science Foundation in South Dakota

NSF awards tagged to South Dakota

National Science Foundation as awarding agency, South Dakota as place-of-performance: 112 records summing to $110,127,527. A National Science Foundation award coded outside SD is out. An award in South Dakota from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. South Dakota (SD) excludes North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Montana, and Wyoming. A Fargo-coded award is ND even if a collaborator sits in Brookings. Directorates inside awarding agency 049 are unpublished splits on this cell.

One hundred twelve records against $110,127,527 is a thin NSF file: few rows, a high implied mean. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 112 as 112 unique principal investigators, named programs, or unique campuses. The overlay National Science Foundation in South Dakota is the both-keys table. South Dakota federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Science Foundation is the agency book without an SD filter. All spending ties lists other joins. Named universities are unpublished. Do not treat 112 as unique South Dakota researchers or as a Black Hills versus Sioux Falls split. Correlation is not causation: South Dakota did not cause $110,127,527 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 049 × SD only.

Not a prairie campus ranking or PI census

$110,127,527 does not measure unique principal investigators, named programs, or unique campuses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 049 and an SD place-of-performance tag. Directorates inside awarding agency 049 are unpublished splits on this cell.

Do not treat 112 awards as a census of unique principal investigators, named programs, or unique campuses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If South Dakota federal spending or National Science Foundation matched $110,127,527 and 112, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. North Dakota, Wyoming, and Nebraska NSF joins are other pairs, not addends. Do not assign $110,127,527 to a named EPSCoR story. That program split is unpublished.
