Basic Scientific Research federal funding in FY2025

USAspending.gov records $679,992,358.13 in Basic Scientific Research (CFDA 12.431) obligations for fiscal year 2025. The year-side award-record count on the pair is 601; the program extract lists 2,237 awards across years. That yearlyTrend cell is 21.5% of this program’s published obligation total of $3,156,765,524.28. The join is Basic Scientific Research crossed with federal FY2025 — not every federal dollar in FY2025 and not a lab roster, a named-investigator file, or a proposal-title index. Obligations are not outlays.

Key figures

  • Basic Scientific Research FY2025: $679,992,358.13 in USAspending obligations (CFDA 12.431).
  • FY2025 is about 21.5% of the program all-year obligation total of $3,156,765,524.28.
  • The pair lists 601 FY2025 award records; the program extract lists 2,237 awards across years.
  • The join is Basic Scientific Research × FY2025, not Basic and Applied Scientific Research (CFDA 12.300), a campus ranking, or an outlay register.
  • Figures are obligations, not outlays; FEC donations do not fund this total.

How CFDA 12.431 meets fiscal year 2025 in the award file

The join is Basic Scientific Research × FY2025. $679,992,358.13 sits only where CFDA 12.431 and fiscal year 2025 overlap in the yearlyTrend extract. Open /programs/12.431/ (CFDA 12.431) for the program table without this FY2025 filter, and /fiscal-years/2025/ (FY2025 federal spending) for the year table without this CFDA filter. Those hubs are parents, not addends to $679,992,358.13. The pair is not Basic and Applied Scientific Research (CFDA 12.300), a campus ranking, or an outlay register.

Read /programs/12.431/ (CFDA 12.431) for the program rollup, /fiscal-years/2025/ (FY2025 federal spending) for the year rollup, /programs/ (All programs) for every CFDA hub, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Do not add those pages into $679,992,358.13. Recipients are unpublished. Six hundred one FY2025 award records is a research-style file, not 601 unique labs. Continuations add rows without naming a new performer.

What CFDA 12.431 labels in FY2025

USAspending labels CFDA 12.431 as Basic Scientific Research. That code produced $679,992,358.13 when crossed with fiscal year 2025. The program-wide hub does not require a FY2025 filter. The year hub does not require this CFDA. Only this tie applies both filters. The catalog title is BASIC SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH. CFDA 12.431 is not CFDA 12.300. This packet does not split disciplines inside the year cell. FY2025 figures can still move in later USAspending ingests.

FY2025 as the basic scientific-research yearlyTrend cell

FY2025 on USAspending.gov is a federal fiscal year, not a calendar year and not a state fiscal year. $679,992,358.13 is the Basic Scientific Research slice of that year in this extract, not the government-wide FY2025 total. FY2025 figures can still move in later USAspending ingests. Prefer /fiscal-years/2025/ if the live year table moved. Outlays are unpublished.

601 FY2025 awards are not 601 laboratories

601 is the FY2025 award-record count published on this pair. 2,237 is the program-extract award-record count across years. Dividing $679,992,358.13 by 2,237 would mix a one-year dollar total with a multi-year row count, so this page does not publish that ratio as a typical award. Unique recipients are unpublished. Six hundred one FY2025 award records is a research-style file, not 601 unique labs. Continuations add rows without naming a new performer.

Treat 601 as award records on the FY2025 cell, not unique vendors and not a lab roster, a named-investigator file, or a proposal-title index. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. FEC contribution tables do not fund these awards. Campus names, laboratories, and principal investigators are unpublished on this packet.

Lab rankings this basic-research join cannot support

Budget justifications, program evaluation reports, and press releases answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes Basic and Applied Scientific Research (CFDA 12.300), a campus ranking, or an outlay register with CFDA 12.431 in FY2025, the chart has left this join. Campus names, laboratories, and principal investigators are unpublished on this packet.

Cite USAspending.gov: Basic Scientific Research (CFDA 12.431) obligated $679,992,358.13 in FY2025. Name Basic Scientific Research and FY2025 together. Keep the obligation word. If /programs/12.431/ or /fiscal-years/2025/ has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not an investigator directory, a study catalog, or a cash-draw file. 21.5% of $3,156,765,524.28 is the program share on this packet, not a budget score.

Reading Basic Scientific Research beside FY2025

Open /programs/12.431/ for CFDA 12.431, /fiscal-years/2025/ for FY2025 federal spending, /programs/ (All programs) for other catalog lines, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for other pairs. None of those links convert this cell into Basic and Applied Scientific Research (CFDA 12.300), a campus ranking, or an outlay register, into outlays this packet omits, or into a contractor list. Cite both sides: Basic Scientific Research and FY2025, $679,992,358.13, USAspending.gov, obligations only.

USAspending.gov records $679,992,358.13 in Basic Scientific Research obligations for FY2025 (CFDA 12.431) across 601 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for the pair, not an outlay and not the program-wide $3,156,765,524.28.
Is Basic Scientific Research FY2025 cash already paid to labs?
No. $679,992,358.13 is a yearlyTrend obligation sum, not an outlay. Payments from the Treasury can lag or differ. This packet has no outlay total for Basic Scientific Research in FY2025. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. Keep both the CFDA number and the fiscal year in the citation.
Do 601 awards mean 601 research labs?
No. 601 is the FY2025 award-record count on this pair, not a published unique-recipient census. The program extract lists 2,237 awards across years. Modifications can add rows. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. Keep both the CFDA number and the fiscal year in the citation.
Which pages parent Basic Scientific Research and FY2025?
The CFDA 12.431 hub is the program parent. The FY2025 federal-spending hub is the year parent. All programs lists CFDA hubs. All spending ties lists other pairs. Prefer those tables after later ingests; this page quotes Basic Scientific Research × FY2025 at $679,992,358.13.
