Foundation 049 overlapping Tennessee

National Science Foundation as awarding agency, Tennessee as place-of-performance: 537 records summing to $356,247,604.50. A National Science Foundation award coded outside TN is out. An award in Tennessee from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Tennessee (TN) excludes Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri. A Knoxville-coded award with a North Carolina place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

537 awards against $356,247,604.50 is a 537-award research-agency file, close to Minnesota’s NSF join. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 537 as 537 unique named campuses, Oak Ridge folklore, or principal investigators. National Science Foundation in Tennessee is the both-keys table. Tennessee federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Science Foundation is the agency book without an TN filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Oak Ridge and university names are unpublished. Do not invent principal investigators. The code is 049. Correlation is not causation: Tennessee did not cause $356,247,604.50 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 049 × TN only.

Lab folklore is unpublished

$356,247,604.50 does not measure named campuses, Oak Ridge folklore, or principal investigators. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 049 and an TN place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 537 awards as a census of named campuses, Oak Ridge folklore, or principal investigators. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Tennessee federal spending or National Science Foundation matched $356,247,604.50 and 537, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state NSF joins are other pairs, not addends.
