Named campuses are unpublished. Mean about $2,788,775,684 per record is arithmetic on two packet facts.

What the Department of Energy–611310 join refuses to say
This page does not rank industries as winners, name laboratories, or convert obligations into jobs. Agency plus NAICS is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. A large 611310 cell is a description of coded awards, not a management grade.
Do not claim campaign donations funded these awards. FEC.gov and USAspending.gov are different datasets. Pell grants, a department of education award table, or an outlay remains out of scope.
