National Science Foundation in Vermont

NSF awards tagged to Vermont

National Science Foundation as awarding agency, Vermont as place-of-performance: 87 records summing to $65,444,562. A National Science Foundation award coded outside VT is out. An award in Vermont from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Vermont (VT) excludes New Hampshire, New York, Massachusetts, and Quebec. A Hanover-coded award is NH even if a collaborator sits in Vermont. Directorates inside awarding agency 049 stay unpublished on this Vermont cell.

Eighty-seven records against $65,444,562 is a thin NSF file, matching Montana NASA’s row count and still a high implied mean. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 87 as 87 unique principal investigators, named programs, or unique campuses. The overlay National Science Foundation in Vermont is the both-keys table. Vermont federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Science Foundation is the agency book without a VT filter. All spending ties lists other joins. Named campuses are unpublished. Do not assign $65,444,562 to a single Vermont university or to unique PIs. Correlation is not causation: Vermont did not cause $65,444,562 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 049 × VT only.

Not a Burlington campus ranking

$65,444,562 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 a VT place-of-performance tag. Directorates inside awarding agency 049 stay unpublished on this Vermont cell.

Do not treat 87 awards as a census of unique principal investigators, named programs, or unique campuses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Vermont federal spending or National Science Foundation matched $65,444,562 and 87, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. New Hampshire, New York, and Massachusetts NSF joins are other pairs, not addends. Eighty-seven is not unique Vermont PIs. Continuations can add rows without each row being a new lab.
