National Science Foundation obligations in Arizona 4th District (AZ-04)

Reading agency 049 inside AZ-04

Awarding agency 049 and congressional district AZ-04 meet here. $314,214,729.90 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not National Science Foundation’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Arizona 4th District (AZ-04), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 280 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a grant-portfolio roster, a campus census, or a named-principal-investigator file.

This page reports National Science Foundation awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $314,214,729.90 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $21,319,000,697.67; the 1.5% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Arizona districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays.

Agency 049 without inventing a component pie

USAspending labels awarding agency 049 as National Science Foundation. That code produced $314,214,729.90 when crossed with Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require AZ-04 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 280 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) did not “cause” $314,214,729.90 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × AZ-04 only. It is not a grant-portfolio roster, a campus census, or a named-principal-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.

How Arizona geography is coded on this join

Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list AZ-04 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Arizona districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 049. Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Arizona. Other Arizona districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 049. Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) is a high-dollar place-of-performance geography. Other Arizona districts are not added into this cell. The packet does not publish a county split inside AZ-04.

Arizona federal spending shows how agency 049 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $314,214,729.90 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to National Science Foundation. The district-wide obligation total published here is $21,319,000,697.67; $314,214,729.90 is the NSF slice of that denominator.

What the dollar figure is allowed to mean

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $314,214,729.90 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside AZ-04 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 awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $314,214,729.90 as given.

Arizona’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 280-row NSF cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 280 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 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 ($1,122,195.46) is a concentration statistic, not a typical AZ-04 NSF payment.

Parents of this tie: district, agency, state

Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $314,214,729.90 on 280 awards coded to Arizona 4th District (AZ-04). Name National Science Foundation and Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) together. Keep the obligation word. If Arizona 4th District or National Science Foundation has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a grant-portfolio roster, a campus census, or a named-principal-investigator file. 1.5% of $21,319,000,697.67 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep National Science Foundation, Arizona 4th District (AZ-04), $314,214,729.90, and 280 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. National Science Foundation is the 049 parent without a AZ-04 filter. Arizona federal spending is the Arizona parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with NSF does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Limits of the AZ-04 × 049 snapshot

280 awards is a moderate NSF file against a twenty-one-billion-dollar district book. A modest share of a huge denominator is still a three-hundred-fourteen-million-dollar National Science Foundation cell. A large row count makes a program 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 $1,122,195.46) and the district share (1.5% of $21,319,000,697.67) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Arizona 4th District and National Science Foundation if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) as more NSF-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 049 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 049 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $314,214,729.90 and 280 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much NSF spending is coded to Arizona 4th District (AZ-04)?

USAspending.gov lists $314,214,729.90 in National Science Foundation obligations across 280 awards with place of performance in Arizona 4th District (AZ-04). Agency 049 × AZ-04 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Arizona’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 1.5% of the district’s published total ($21,319,000,697.67). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1,122,195.46, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $314,214,729.90 include every NSF program in AZ-04?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. $314,214,729.90 is the combined obligation sum for agency 049 inside AZ-04 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Science Foundation and Arizona 4th District to inspect parent tables. 280 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $314,214,729.90 cash already paid in Arizona 4th District (AZ-04)?

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 $314,214,729.90 as checks already cleared in Arizona 4th District (AZ-04) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 280 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Do FEC donations fund these NSF awards in AZ-04?

No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing Arizona geography does not mean donations funded $314,214,729.90 in Arizona 4th District (AZ-04). This page reports USAspending.gov awarding-agency 049 crossed with place of performance AZ-04. It does not report campaign finance.
