Geosciences (CFDA 47.050) federal obligations in Wyoming

USAspending.gov records $38,908,172 in Geosciences obligations under CFDA 47.050 with place of performance in Wyoming, spread across 14 awards. That figure is an obligation sum for one Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number inside one state, not an outlay ledger and not Wyoming’s full federal footprint. Fourteen Wyoming Geosciences awards totaling $38,908,172 are not fourteen field seasons and not a mineral-economy score for the state. The pair is a join: program 47.050 and state WY.

Key figures

  • Geosciences CFDA 47.050 shows $38,908,172 in Wyoming place-of-performance obligations on 14 awards.
  • Mean obligation is about $2,779,155.14 per award.
  • The figure is a two-key USAspending join, not Wyoming’s full federal total and not a census of laboratories, field seasons, or earth-science investigators.
  • Obligations are not outlays; FEC filings do not fund this cell.
  • Wyoming is a place-of-performance tag (state WY), not a unit census.

What this Geosciences–Wyoming join is

Geosciences and Wyoming meet on this page. $38,908,172 is the obligation sum on records that carry both keys. The Wyoming spending hub totals every CFDA in the state. The national Geosciences hub totals every state for 47.050. This page is the overlap, not a ranking of programs and not a claim that Wyoming caused the awards. USAspending.gov is the source table. Obligations are commitments recorded on the award file, not outlays that have already left the Treasury.

Fourteen awards against $38,908,172 yields about $2,779,155.14 per award if the sum were divided evenly. That mean is arithmetic, not a typical instrument and not a median. Correlation between a catalog code and a Wyoming place-of-performance tag is not causation. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Campaign-finance tables and federal award tables remain separate datasets even when they share a geography label.

CFDA 47.050, not a Wyoming minerals ledger

The catalog number is 47.050. Official title: GEOSCIENCES. Other science catalog numbers that do not carry CFDA 47.050 would invent a combined total this packet never computed. Packet facts on the program side stop at the name Geosciences, the number 47.050, $38,908,172, and 14 awards. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names. Geosciences as a catalog title describes the assistance type on the award file. It does not prove how each dollar was used on the ground.

The catalog string does not grade Wyoming and does not name laboratories, field seasons, or earth-science investigators. Place of performance can sit on a statewide stamp that only says Wyoming. Laramie, Casper, or Cheyenne folklore may send a reader here; those stories are not a metro split in this packet. The nationwide CFDA 47.050 page includes other geographies, so it is not this cell.

Wyoming place of performance on Geosciences rows

Wyoming is USAspending state code WY. A recipient headquartered elsewhere can still show WY if performance is coded there. Awards coded to Colorado, Montana, Utah, or South Dakota stay on other state–program ties. $38,908,172 is not Wyoming’s private budget and is not every federal dollar that touches related work in the state. Statewide Wyoming federal spending is the parent table. CFDA 47.050 is one program inside that table.

Readers who want every Wyoming assistance line should use the Wyoming programs index rather than this single join. Matching 47.050 to Wyoming does not mean the state selected these awards. It also does not mean outlays equal $38,908,172 inside Wyoming. Reuse $38,908,172 only with both join sides named: Geosciences and Wyoming.

Fourteen awards behind $38,908,172

14 is the award-record count, not 14 laboratories, field seasons, or earth-science investigators. Average obligation is about $2,779,155.14 ($38,908,172 ÷ 14). That mean can hide a mix of large cooperative agreements, formula awards, and smaller modifications. The packet does not publish a median, a maximum, or a year-by-year split. Treat 14 as the award-record count in the aggregate.

Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $38,908,172 as given in the USAspending program-by-state aggregate. Unique vendors stay unpublished. Later bulk files can move both the dollars and the 14-award count. If a live table later shows a different total than $38,908,172, treat the live harvest as newer and this copy as a narrative of the packet facts. Do not average the two figures.

What Geosciences in Wyoming omits

A shared state tag does not mean Wyoming selected these awards, and it does not convert Geosciences outlays to $38,908,172 inside the state. The join is not a census of laboratories, field seasons, or earth-science investigators. It is not other science catalog numbers that do not carry CFDA 47.050. FEC filings do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.

Limits of the 47.050 × WY overlay

The overlay for Geosciences in Wyoming is the tabular sibling of this prose page. It holds the same two keys—CFDA 47.050 and Wyoming place of performance—without adding a fiscal-year series that the packet does not supply. Award count 14 should be checked the same way: a later rebuild can add or drop rows when USAspending restates assistance records. Researchers who need Geosciences in every state should use the national CFDA 47.050 hub.

This page exists because two tables meet. It does not treat 14 awards as the number of laboratories, field seasons, or earth-science investigators. Obligations remain commitments on the award file, not outlays already paid. Prefer live tables at /states/wy/programs/47.050/, /programs/47.050/, /states/wy/, /states/wy/programs/, and /ties/ after later ingests. Keep Geosciences and Wyoming together when citing $38,908,172.

Questions

How much Geosciences funding is obligated in Wyoming?
USAspending.gov records $38,908,172 in obligations for CFDA 47.050 with Wyoming place of performance, covering 14 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for this pair, not outlays and not a census of laboratories, field seasons, or earth-science investigators. Keep Geosciences and Wyoming together when citing $38,908,172.
What is the average Geosciences award in Wyoming?
Dividing $38,908,172 by 14 awards produces about $2,779,155.14 per award. That mean is not a median and not a typical single instrument. 14 remains a USAspending award-record count, not 14 laboratories, field seasons, or earth-science investigators. Unique recipients are unpublished.
Is this all federal spending in Wyoming?
No. Only CFDA 47.050 (Geosciences) is in this cell. Other programs appear on the Wyoming programs index and on other state–program ties. Nationwide 47.050 is not limited to Wyoming. Mixing other science catalog numbers that do not carry CFDA 47.050 would invent a larger total.
Where is the live 47.050 × WY table?
Geosciences in Wyoming is the overlay at /states/wy/programs/47.050/. CFDA 47.050 is /programs/47.050/. Wyoming federal spending is /states/wy/. Wyoming programs is /states/wy/programs/. All spending ties is /ties/. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov for this 47.050 × WY pair.
