How much Mathematical and Physical Sciences funding is obligated in DC?

USAspending records $925,591,744 in CFDA 47.049 obligations with District of Columbia place of performance, covering 70 awards. That is an obligation aggregate, not outlays.

Why is the DC average higher than Virginia’s 47.049 cell?

The District cell has 70 awards summing to $925,591,744. Virginia’s 47.049 join has 203 awards. Fewer rows raise the mean. That is not a ranking of scientific quality.

What is the average 47.049 award in the District?

Dividing $925,591,744 by 70 awards produces about $13.2 million per award. That mean is not a median and not a typical investigator grant.

Is this all federal spending in the District of Columbia?

No. Only CFDA 47.049 is in this cell. Other programs appear on the District of Columbia programs index.

Mathematical And Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) in the District of Columbia

USAspending.gov records $925,591,744 in Mathematical And Physical Sciences obligations under CFDA 47.049 with place of performance in the District of Columbia, across 70 awards. Virginia’s 47.049 join in this harvest is larger ($1,014,416,111 on 203 awards). The District’s mean is about $13.2 million, Virginia’s about $5.00 million. Fewer rows under similar dollars raise the DC average. That is table shape, not a ranking of physics. The page joins 47.049 to state DC.

Key figures

CFDA 47.049 shows $925,591,744 in District of Columbia obligations on 70 awards.
Mean obligation is about $13.2 million per award.
A DC place-of-performance tag can include national organizations, not only local labs.
Figures are USAspending obligations, not outlays.

NSF MPS dollars stamped to the District

CFDA 47.049 is titled Mathematical And Physical Sciences. The District of Columbia is the place-of-performance state. $925,591,744 sums obligations on records that carry both keys. Seventy awards is a thinner research file than Virginia’s 203-award 47.049 cell. A headquarters or association address in the District can pull national-looking awards onto the DC geography key. The packet does not list recipients, so this page does not assume every dollar funded a District laboratory.

The District hub totals every program. The national 47.049 hub totals every state. This tie is the overlap. The Clean Communities Investment Accelerator (66.960) DC cell in this harvest is a single $940,000,000 award. Same geography tag, unrelated catalogs.

Seventy awards against $925,591,744 is thinner than Virginia’s 203-award 47.049 cell, which is why the District mean near $13.2 million exceeds Virginia’s about-$5.00 million mean. Headquarters stamps can thicken or thin a DC file depending on how USAspending codes performance. The packet does not say which recipients sit in the 70 rows. This page therefore does not claim that $925,591,744 funded District classrooms or District telescopes specifically.

CFDA 47.049, not every NSF or STEM line

Mathematical and Physical Sciences is one catalog number. Geosciences (47.050) and other NSF directorate codes are separate. Folding them into $925,591,744 would misstate this cell. Packet facts are the obligation total, 70 awards, state DC, and CFDA 47.049. No subdiscipline split is included.

Place of performance tagged DC can mean a university, a federal office, a scientific society, or a statewide DC stamp. Awards coded to Maryland or Virginia stay on other 47.049 ties even when the scientific community spans the region.

The District as a performance geography

The District of Columbia is USAspending state code DC. $925,591,744 is not the District’s entire federal research footprint and is not every STEM-related CFDA in the capital. The packet has no ward table and no intramural-versus-extramural flag.

Statewide District of Columbia federal spending is the parent. CFDA 47.049 is one NSF line. Readers looking for EPA climate-fund awards or other DC program joins should leave this page.

Why the DC mean exceeds Virginia’s

Average obligation is about $13.2 million ($925,591,744 ÷ 70). Virginia’s 47.049 mean is about $5.00 million on 203 awards. The District’s higher mean flags a thinner file, not proof that DC science is more expensive or more important. The packet does not publish a median.

Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $925,591,744 as given. Obligations are not outlays.

What the DC–47.049 pair is not

A shared geography tag does not mean the District selected these awards, and it does not mean MPS outlays equal $925,591,744 inside the city. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.

DC MPS overlay and the national-organization stamp

Mathematical And Physical Sciences in District of Columbia is the overlay for CFDA 47.049 inside state DC. Seventy awards and $925,591,744 can include scientific societies and federal offices as well as local campuses. The packet does not list recipients, so this page does not assume every dollar funded a District laboratory. Virginia’s 203-award 47.049 cell is a sibling geography key with a lower mean. Fewer DC rows raise the average. That is table shape, not a physics ranking.

The Clean Communities Investment Accelerator DC cell is a one-award EPA join in this harvest. Same geography tag, unrelated catalog. District of Columbia programs is the CFDA index. The national 47.049 hub drops the DC filter. Geosciences (47.050) remains a different NSF number. Obligations of $925,591,744 are not outlays. FEC filings do not fund this USAspending cell.
