Basic Scientific Research awarded by the Department of Defense

Defense's basic-research assistance cell

Basic Scientific Research and the Department of Defense meet in one cell. $3,156,765,524.28 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum for CFDA 12.431 with awarding agency 097. It is not applied or advanced research under other Defense CFDAs, not a service-by-service split, and not an outlay. Universities and labs are unnamed. Other Defense research titles remain on the agency hub.

A basic-research label invites a field-by-field reading. This packet does not publish fields. Assigning $3,156,765,524.28 to one campus or one service lab adds a recipient the facts omit. Correlation with science-news headlines is not causation.
