Geosciences funding in Colorado 2nd District (CO-02)

Geosciences and Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) as a USAspending pair

CFDA 47.050 and congressional district CO-02 meet here. $1,121,919,417 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Geosciences’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Colorado 2nd District (CO-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split atmospheric, earth, or ocean sciences and does not name campuses. 148 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a field-site map, a campus census, or a named-investigator file.

Dividing $1,121,919,417 by 148 yields about $7,580,536.60 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical NSF grant size or a posted per-site figure. 148 awards is a compact NSF geosciences file. Do not invent campuses, ships, or principal investigators. Do not treat CO-02’s 47.050 cell as a synonym for every Geosciences account nationwide. Open Colorado 2nd District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 47.050 for CFDA 47.050 without the CO-02 filter, Colorado federal spending for every program in the Colorado extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,121,919,417.

How USAspending labels Geosciences

USAspending labels CFDA 47.050 as Geosciences. That catalog number produced $1,121,919,417 when crossed with Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) place of performance. The program-wide 47.050 hub does not require CO-02 geography. The district hub does not require Geosciences. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 148 awards. The packet does not split atmospheric, earth, or ocean sciences and does not name campuses.

Correlation is not causation: Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) did not “cause” $1,121,919,417 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 47.050 × CO-02 only. It is not a field-site map, a campus census, or a named-investigator file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Geography is CO-02, not a facility map

Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list CO-02 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Colorado districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 47.050. Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Colorado. Other Colorado districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 47.050. Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) is not Colorado 5th District. The VA disability pair on CO-05 uses CFDA 64.109, not 47.050.

Colorado federal spending shows how CFDA 47.050 sits beside other programs in the same state extract. $1,121,919,417 is one district-program column, not the state table. This packet does not split Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different CFDA stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Geosciences. The district-wide obligation total published here is $12,688,286,519.69; $1,121,919,417 is the Geosciences slice of that denominator.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,121,919,417 is that kind of sum for Geosciences inside CO-02 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same CFDA rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $1,121,919,417 as given.

Keeping both sides of the 47.050 × CO-02 pair

Cite USAspending.gov: Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) obligated $1,121,919,417 on 148 awards coded to Colorado 2nd District (CO-02). Name Geosciences and Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) together. Keep the obligation word. If Colorado 2nd District or CFDA 47.050 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a field-site map, a campus census, or a named-investigator file. 8.8% of $12,688,286,519.69 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. Office of Science Financial Assistance (81.049) on CA-50 and MI-07 is a DOE catalog line, not this NSF Geosciences join.

Share, mean, and what they are not

148 awards is a compact NSF geosciences file. Do not invent campuses, ships, or principal investigators. A large row count makes a project split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $7,580,536.60) and the district share (8.8% of $12,688,286,519.69) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Colorado 2nd District and CFDA 47.050 if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) as more Geosciences-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 47.050 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 47.050 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $1,121,919,417 and 148 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much Geosciences spending is coded to Colorado 2nd District (CO-02)?

USAspending.gov lists $1,121,919,417 in Geosciences obligations across 148 awards with place of performance in Colorado 2nd District (CO-02). CFDA 47.050 × CO-02 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Colorado’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 8.8% of the district’s published total ($12,688,286,519.69). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $7,580,536.60, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $1,121,919,417 include every Geosciences project in CO-02?

The packet publishes one CFDA rollup. The packet does not split atmospheric, earth, or ocean sciences and does not name campuses. $1,121,919,417 is the combined obligation sum for CFDA 47.050 inside CO-02 coding. This page will not invent a project pie or name contractors. Open CFDA 47.050 and Colorado 2nd District to inspect parent tables. 148 remains an action count, not a count of field sites, ships, or investigators.

Is $1,121,919,417 cash already paid in Colorado 2nd District (CO-02)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $1,121,919,417 as checks already cleared in Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 148 awards. Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.

How does this Geosciences cell relate to Colorado statewide spending?

Colorado federal spending is the Colorado statewide extract across programs. $1,121,919,417 is the Geosciences amount inside Colorado 2nd District (CO-02) only, not the statewide Geosciences total. Adding Colorado federal spending to $1,121,919,417 double-counts. CFDA 47.050 nationwide lives on CFDA 47.050. This join is 47.050 × CO-02.
