Geosciences funding in Texas 10th District (TX-10)
The Geosciences × TX-10 cell on USAspending.gov is $669,289,812 in obligations across 32 awards. Thirty-two Geosciences awards equal about six percent of TX-10’s district obligation total, an NSF catalog line that is not a field-site map. That pair is Geosciences and Texas 10th District (TX-10) — not Texas’s entire federal inflow, not Geosciences nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 5.7% of this district’s published obligation total ($11,746,424,273.62). Implied average obligation is about $20,915,306.62 ($669,289,812 ÷ 32). Correlation is not causation.

A place-of-performance join: Geosciences × TX-10
CFDA 47.050 and congressional district TX-10 meet here. $669,289,812 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 Texas 10th District (TX-10), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split atmospheric, earth, or ocean sciences and does not name campuses. 32 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $669,289,812 by 32 yields about $20,915,306.62 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical NSF grant size or a posted per-site figure. 32 awards is a compact NSF geosciences file. Do not invent campuses, ships, or principal investigators. Do not treat TX-10’s 47.050 cell as a synonym for every Geosciences account nationwide. Open Texas 10th District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 47.050 for CFDA 47.050 without the TX-10 filter, Texas federal spending for every program in the Texas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $669,289,812.
Geosciences as a CFDA tag, not as a named-vendor list
USAspending labels CFDA 47.050 as Geosciences. That catalog number produced $669,289,812 when crossed with Texas 10th District (TX-10) place of performance. The program-wide 47.050 hub does not require TX-10 geography. The district hub does not require Geosciences. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 32 awards. The packet does not split atmospheric, earth, or ocean sciences and does not name campuses.
Correlation is not causation: Texas 10th District (TX-10) did not “cause” $669,289,812 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 47.050 × TX-10 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.
Place of performance for Texas 10th District (TX-10)
Texas 10th District (TX-10) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list TX-10 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 47.050. Texas 10th District (TX-10) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 47.050. Texas 10th District (TX-10) is not Texas 31st, 27th, 13th, or 37th. Those Texas pairs on this slice use VA disability, FEMA IHP, crop insurance, and vocational rehabilitation catalog lines.
Obligation math for this join
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $669,289,812 is that kind of sum for Geosciences inside TX-10 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 $669,289,812 as given.
Texas’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 32-row Geosciences cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 32 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 32 is not a count of field sites, ships, or investigators. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($20,915,306.62) is a concentration statistic, not a typical NSF grant size or a posted per-site figure.
What a complete citation includes
Cite USAspending.gov: Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) obligated $669,289,812 on 32 awards coded to Texas 10th District (TX-10). Name Geosciences and Texas 10th District (TX-10) together. Keep the obligation word. If Texas 10th 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. 5.7% of $11,746,424,273.62 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. Crop insurance on Texas 13th is CFDA 10.450, a USDA line, not this NSF Geosciences join.
Using 5.7% and $20,915,306.62 without overclaiming
32 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 $20,915,306.62) and the district share (5.7% of $11,746,424,273.62) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 10th District and CFDA 47.050 if the live tables moved.
Do not rank Texas 10th District (TX-10) 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 $669,289,812 and 32 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 Texas 10th District (TX-10)?
- USAspending.gov lists $669,289,812 in Geosciences obligations across 32 awards with place of performance in Texas 10th District (TX-10). CFDA 47.050 × TX-10 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Texas’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 5.7% of the district’s published total ($11,746,424,273.62). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $20,915,306.62, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $669,289,812 include every Geosciences project in TX-10?
- The packet publishes one CFDA rollup. The packet does not split atmospheric, earth, or ocean sciences and does not name campuses. $669,289,812 is the combined obligation sum for CFDA 47.050 inside TX-10 coding. This page will not invent a project pie or name contractors. Open CFDA 47.050 and Texas 10th District to inspect parent tables. 32 remains an action count, not a count of field sites, ships, or investigators.
- Is $669,289,812 cash already paid in Texas 10th District (TX-10)?
- 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 $669,289,812 as checks already cleared in Texas 10th District (TX-10) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 32 awards. Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.
- Is Texas 10th District (TX-10) ranked against other Texas districts here?
- No. This page does not rank Texas 10th District (TX-10) as a winner or loser. $669,289,812 and 32 describe one join. Neighboring districts have their own cells. District 90/98 placeholders are omitted. Cite Geosciences and Texas 10th District (TX-10) together without a league table.
