National Science Foundation obligations in California 12th District (CA-12)

NSF × CA-12 is 253 awards, not 253 Bay Area labs

This page is a join: National Science Foundation and California 12th District (CA-12). SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $386,258,227 on 253 awards for awarding agency 049 with California 12th District (CA-12) as place of performance. Agency 049 crossed with California 12th District (CA-12) is a research-award intersection, not a campus census and not California's entire NSF book. CA-50 NSF on this harvest is a different district pair. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 253 awards equal that many campuses, PIs, or named laboratories.

CA-50 NSF is a larger dollar book on the same agency. Mixing CA-12 and CA-50 Foundation cells would invent a combined California NSF figure. Correlation between this obligation sum and local activity statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Place of performance as CA-12 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $386,258,227 in a district treasury. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell.

Two hundred fifty-three Foundation rows on $386 million

Two hundred fifty-three records is thinner than CA-50's 308-award NSF file on a smaller dollar book. Unique recipients are unpublished. Mean obligation is about $1.53 million if $386,258,227 were divided evenly across 253 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. It is not a census of campuses, PIs, or named laboratories. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Agency code 049 is the National Science Foundation. The awarding-agency tag does not name campuses or investigators. This packet lists none of them. Campus and PI names are unpublished. Two hundred fifty-three awards are not two hundred fifty-three Bay Area laboratories. Open California 12th District (/districts/CA-12/) for the stored district table and National Science Foundation (/agencies/049/) for the national agency shelf. The $386,258,227 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

California 12th District as NSF place of performance

California 12th District (CA-12) is a congressional place-of-performance code. CA-50 NSF is another pair. A CA-01 Interior award is another cell. The district's all-agency obligation total is $23,541,852,476.74. $386,258,227 is the National Science Foundation slice of that book, about 1.6%. Remaining district dollars sit with other awarding agencies on California 12th District, not inside this join. California federal spending (/states/ca/) is the statewide parent.

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $386,258,227 headline is the obligation sum, not research already performed. No fiscal year is attached in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Citing the figure as cash already sent in California 12th District (CA-12) confuses two USAspending concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

CA-12 NSF obligations are not papers already published

The extract has no roster of campuses, PIs, or named laboratories. Facts remain $386,258,227, 253 awards, agency 049 (National Science Foundation), California 12th District (CA-12), and a district-wide book of $23,541,852,476.74. This page will not invent a contractor league table. Sibling district-agency joins are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Confusing this join with a statewide NSF total or the CA-50 NSF overlay would be a different overlay.

Keep the obligation word on $386,258,227. Keep both National Science Foundation and California 12th District (CA-12) in the citation. All spending ties (/ties/) indexes other pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of California spending or of National Science Foundation's national book the packet never computed. The $386,258,227 figure is the tagged pair only.

Citing agency 049 in California 12th District (CA-12)

A clean footnote names National Science Foundation (agency 049), California 12th District (CA-12), $386,258,227 in obligations, and 253 awards on USAspending.gov. Start at /districts/CA-12/ for the district overlay, /agencies/049/ for the agency rollup, /states/ca/ for California statewide spending, and /ties/ for other pairs. If a later ingest moves the live overlay, prefer the overlay when the table and this snapshot diverge. A ties page exists because two tables meet.

Questions

How much did National Science Foundation obligate in California 12th District (CA-12)?

USAspending.gov shows $386,258,227 in obligations for National Science Foundation (agency 049) with California 12th District (CA-12) as place of performance, across 253 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district's entire federal-spending total.

Do 253 awards mean 253 NSF laboratories in CA-12?

No. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of campuses, PIs, or named laboratories. The packet does not name recipients. Mean obligation of about $1.53 million is a quotient, not a typical published award.

Is this California's entire National Science Foundation book?

No. The join is awarding agency 049 crossed with CA-12 place of performance. The district-wide book on this extract is $23,541,852,476.74. Related agencies and other districts are not inside $386,258,227 unless they also carry both keys.

Is the National Science Foundation total in CA-12 already spent?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $386,258,227 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
