Fossil Energy Research and Development in North Dakota

What the 81.089–North Dakota join reports

CFDA 81.089 is titled FOSSIL ENERGY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Crossed with North Dakota place of performance, the obligation sum is $183,782,151.24 on 31 awards. The national 81.089 hub includes other states. North Dakota’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $183,782,151.24 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of wells, plants, or carbon-capture sites.

Office of Science financial assistance (81.049) and other DOE catalogs use different CFDA numbers. Mixing them into $183,782,151.24 would invent a broader Energy total than this cell contains. Packet facts are $183,782,151.24, 31 awards, ND, and 81.089. Correlation is not causation. Rural Health Transformation 93.798 is a separate North Dakota join.

Thirty-one awards under North Dakota fossil-energy R&D

Thirty-one awards against $183,782,151.24 yield a simple mean near $5.93 million. The facts do not publish a median, a range, or unique recipients. 31 is a record count in an aggregate, not 31 companies and not 31 completed demonstrations. A recipient can post multiple instruments across modifications.

Treat the mean as arithmetic, not as a typical project budget. Unique recipient names are unpublished and are not invented here. Downward modifications, if they exist in the raw file, are already netted into the total supplied in the facts. Do not annualize $183,782,151.24; this packet publishes no year field.

North Dakota geography on the 81.089 tag

ND is the place-of-performance code. A grant can post to a campus, lab, or company address even when fieldwork spans many counties. Awards coded to Minnesota, South Dakota, Montana, or other states stay outside $183,782,151.24 even when a collaborator sits there.

North Dakota federal spending is the all-program parent. 81.089 is one row on North Dakota programs. $183.8 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Fossil Energy Research And Development in North Dakota for the filtered table, CFDA 81.089 for the catalog without a North Dakota filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $183,782,151.24.

What fossil-energy R&D in North Dakota does not prove

A large 81.089 total tagged to North Dakota does not measure barrels produced, CO2 stored, or patents filed. It does not equal invoices paid. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. The headline remains $183,782,151.24 on 31 awards for Fossil Energy Research And Development in North Dakota.

Keep both sides of the join: Fossil Energy Research And Development and North Dakota, obligations only. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than an energy-policy story. Company and university names are not in the facts.

Using the North Dakota × 81.089 overlay

The overlay target is the North Dakota × CFDA 81.089 table. Open Fossil Energy Research And Development in North Dakota when you want the same $183,782,151.24 / 31-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 81.089 drops the North Dakota filter. North Dakota federal spending drops the CFDA filter. North Dakota programs lists other catalogs beside 81.089. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to rank North Dakota energy, to name contractors, or to treat obligations as cash. The pair is 81.089 plus ND. Obligations of $183,782,151.24 are not outlays. Cite Fossil Energy Research And Development together with North Dakota whenever you reuse $183,782,151.24. 31 remains an award-record count on USAspending.gov. The overlay path is the live table for this 81.089 × ND cell. Later bulk files can restate $183,782,151.24 without changing the join key. Place of performance remains North Dakota; CFDA remains 81.089.

Limits of the packet facts for North Dakota 81.089

The packet publishes four numbers and two labels: $183,782,151.24, 31 awards, North Dakota, and CFDA 81.089 titled Fossil Energy Research And Development. It does not publish fiscal year, unique recipients, project names, or outlays. Contractor names are unpublished and are not invented here.

Researchers who need award-level rows should open the overlay table and USAspending.gov rather than stretch $183,782,151.24 into an energy scorecard. The join is a filter, not a causal claim. FEC files do not explain the 31 awards. Keep Fossil Energy Research And Development named with North Dakota in every reuse of $183,782,151.24. AwardCount stays 31 until a new ingest revises it. Do not fold Office of Science 81.049 into $183,782,151.24.
