IMLS awards tagged to the District of Columbia

Institute of Museum and Library Services as awarding agency, District of Columbia as place-of-performance: 127 records summing to $61,947,398.33. An Institute of Museum and Library Services award coded outside DC is out. An award in District of Columbia from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. The District of Columbia (DC) excludes Maryland and Virginia. A College Park-coded award is MD even if an IMLS office sits in the District. Awarding agency 474 is the IMLS parent. Museum-versus-library splits are unpublished.

One hundred twenty-seven records against $61,947,398.33 is a thin IMLS file. A DC tag can mark headquarters place of performance, not a local library census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 127 as 127 unique museums, named libraries, or unique grants as institutions. The overlay Institute of Museum and Library Services in District of Columbia is the both-keys table. District of Columbia federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Institute of Museum and Library Services is the agency book without a DC filter. All spending ties lists other joins. Named museums and libraries are unpublished. Do not read 127 as unique District institutions or as a national IMLS rollup glued to DC. Correlation is not causation: District of Columbia did not cause $61,947,398.33 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 474 × DC only.

Not unique museums, named libraries, or unique grants-as-institutions

$61,947,398.33 does not measure unique museums, named libraries, or unique grants as institutions. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 474 and a DC place-of-performance tag. Awarding agency 474 is the IMLS parent. Museum-versus-library splits are unpublished.

Do not treat 127 awards as a census of unique museums, named libraries, or unique grants as institutions. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If District of Columbia federal spending or Institute of Museum and Library Services matched $61,947,398.33 and 127, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Maryland, Virginia, and California IMLS joins are other pairs, not addends. Keep $61,947,398.33 on DC. Do not add Maryland IMLS dollars into this cell.

DC place of performance, not a Maryland-Virginia rollup

Place of performance DC is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. The District of Columbia (DC) excludes Maryland and Virginia. A College Park-coded award is MD even if an IMLS office sits in the District. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. the District’s wards share one DC stamp share one DC stamp.

Named museums and libraries are unpublished. Do not read 127 as unique District institutions or as a national IMLS rollup glued to DC. This packet does not split $61,947,398.33 by city, county, or named facility. 127 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. FEC donation tables do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Headquarters geography still records obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $61,947,398.33 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in District of Columbia confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

District of Columbia’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 127-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $61,947,398.33. Keep $61,947,398.33 on DC. Do not add Maryland IMLS dollars into this cell.
