Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy awarded by Department of Energy

ARPA-E overlapping Energy — CFDA 81.135

The pair is Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy × Department of Energy. $1,630,927,885.61 is the obligation aggregate for rows that carry both CFDA 81.135 and awarding-agency 089. The join obligation $1,630,927,885.61 equals the CFDA program total of $1,630,927,885.61 in this extract, so this packet does not publish a leftover ARPA-E slice at a second awarding agency. Correlation is not causation: the join does not prove that Department of Energy caused ARPA-E activity, only that USAspending coded the two keys together. It is not a lab ranking or a named ARPA-E performer list.

SpendingVault indexes the cell from USAspending.gov. The catalog title on the program side is ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY - ENERGY. The agency name on the awarding side is Department of Energy. Neither label is a contractor, a place of performance, or a fiscal-year stamp — this packet publishes no fiscal year. Cite $1,630,927,885.61 as obligations on the ARPA-E–Energy pair.

CFDA 81.135 as the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy side

CFDA 81.135 is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier for Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy. The program-wide obligation total in this extract is $1,630,927,885.61. That figure is a program rollup, not a second headline for the Department of Energy slice unless the two amounts match. Do not treat $1,630,927,885.61 as cash Treasury already sent. Performer names, project titles, and technology classes are unpublished on this packet.

Open CFDA 81.135 at /programs/81.135/ for the program hub. That page is not this join: it can include other awarding agencies if the extract lists them, and it is still obligations rather than outlays. This ties page stays on CFDA 81.135 awarded by agency 089 only.

Agency 089, Department of Energy

Department of Energy is awarding-agency 089 on USAspending assistance rows. The agency hub Department of Energy at /agencies/089/ rolls up every program that agency awards in the index, not only ARPA-E. Reading $1,630,927,885.61 as Department of Energy’s entire book would over-read this cell. The join is one CFDA inside one agency, not a department budget justification.

Do not add Federal Election Commission contribution totals to $1,630,927,885.61. Campaign-finance receipts and USAspending award obligations are separate public-record systems even when a geography or a calendar year happens to overlap. This packet has no FEC facts.

665 awards as a CFDA table, not a project census

The extract lists 665 awards on the ARPA-E × Department of Energy table. That is an award-record count, not a census of technologies. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. Dividing $1,630,927,885.61 by 665 is not published here as a typical award size, because the packet does not say the rows are comparable.

Technology rankings this ARPA-E–Energy join cannot support

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $1,630,927,885.61 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared on ARPA-E over-reads the field. The join cannot say that Department of Energy specialized in ARPA-E because of a policy success metric this packet omits. Keep $1,630,927,885.61 labeled as Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy obligations awarded by Department of Energy.
