Biological Sciences federal funding in FY2025

Fiscal year 2025 and CFDA 47.074 share one yearlyTrend cell: $786,543,229 on Biological Sciences, 1,243 award records. That yearlyTrend cell is 21.5% of this program’s published obligation total of $3,660,743,871. This page reports the pair, not an investigator directory, a study-title index, or a cash-draw file. Campus names, principal investigators, and award titles are unpublished on this packet. Cite USAspending.gov. Obligations are not outlays.

Key figures

  • Biological Sciences FY2025: $786,543,229 in USAspending obligations (CFDA 47.074).
  • FY2025 is about 21.5% of the program all-year obligation total of $3,660,743,871.
  • The pair lists 1,243 FY2025 award records; the program extract lists 3,359 awards across years.
  • The join is Biological Sciences × FY2025, not an Engineering twin, a named-university list, or an outlay register.
  • Figures are obligations, not outlays; FEC donations do not fund this total.

The Biological Sciences × FY2025 join

A CFDA × fiscal-year page exists because two tables meet. $786,543,229 is the meeting point for Biological Sciences and FY2025. It does not mean FY2025 specialized in this program because of a published causal story. It does not mean FEC donations funded these awards. Different datasets, even when calendars overlap. Campus names, principal investigators, and award titles are unpublished on this packet.

Read /programs/47.074/ (CFDA 47.074) 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 $786,543,229. Recipients are unpublished. One thousand two hundred forty-three FY2025 award records is a research-style file, not 1,243 unique campuses. Continuations add rows without naming a new lab.

Biological Sciences without a year filter is a different page

USAspending labels CFDA 47.074 as Biological Sciences. That code produced $786,543,229 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 BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES. Subfields, solicitation numbers, and intramural versus extramural lines are not split inside this year cell. FY2025 figures can still move in later USAspending ingests.

The program extract-wide obligation total is $3,660,743,871 across 3,359 award records. FY2025 is 21.5% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for CFDA 47.074 are separate cells. Do not fold /programs/ into this join as if every CFDA were this one. Keep 47.074.

FY2025 as the Biological Sciences yearlyTrend cell

FY2025 on USAspending.gov is a federal fiscal year, not a calendar year and not a state fiscal year. $786,543,229 is the Biological Sciences 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.

1,243 FY2025 awards are not 1,243 labs

1,243 is the FY2025 award-record count published on this pair. 3,359 is the program-extract award-record count across years. Dividing $786,543,229 by 3,359 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. One thousand two hundred forty-three FY2025 award records is a research-style file, not 1,243 unique campuses. Continuations add rows without naming a new lab.

Campus rankings this Biological Sciences 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 an Engineering twin, a named-university list, or an outlay register with CFDA 47.074 in FY2025, the chart has left this join. Campus names, principal investigators, and award titles are unpublished on this packet.

Cite USAspending.gov: Biological Sciences (CFDA 47.074) obligated $786,543,229 in FY2025. Name Biological Sciences and FY2025 together. Keep the obligation word. If /programs/47.074/ 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-title index, or a cash-draw file. 21.5% of $3,660,743,871 is the program share on this packet, not a budget score.

None of those links convert this cell into an Engineering twin, a named-university list, or an outlay register, into outlays this packet omits, or into a contractor list.
