National Science Foundation federal obligations in FY2025

USAspending.gov records $8,423,643,644.89 in National Science Foundation obligations for fiscal year 2025. On toptier 049, that yearlyTrend row is 20.2% of NSF's $41,750,201,192.18 extract-wide total. The pair is NSF plus FY2025, not a PI census and not research cash already drawn. Agency 049 publishes 37,477 award records in this extract; that count is not a FY2025-only grant list.

NSF's FY2025 yearlyTrend cell

Agency 049 and fiscal year 2025 meet here. $8,423,643,644.89 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on that pair, not the $41,750,201,192.18 all-year NSF book, not every federal science dollar in FY2025, and not an outlay. Directorates are unpublished. The source note says FY figures can be incomplete.

FY2025 is a smaller published cell than NSF's FY2024 yearlyTrend row in this harvest. That contrast is two year keys, not a named-directorate shutdown. This packet names no campuses. Correlation with paper counts is not causation.

FY2025 versus NSF's extract-wide book

20.2% of $41,750,201,192.18 is tagged to FY2025. The National Science Foundation hub (/agencies/049/) omits the year filter. FY2025 federal spending (/fiscal-years/2025/) omits the 049 filter. Do not add those parents into $8,423,643,644.89.

Do not add FY2024's NSF cell into this one. Later ingests can restate FY2025. Cite obligations, not outlays.

NSF award records are not FY2025 grants

37,477 is the National Science Foundation extract-wide award-record count, not FY2025 instruments and not investigators. This page does not divide $8,423,643,644.89 by 37,477. Unique recipients are unpublished.

What NSF FY2025 omits

No outlays, no directorate table, no named universities, no FEC overlay. Campaign donations do not fund these USAspending obligations. All agencies (/agencies/) and All spending ties (/ties/) list other keys.
