How agency 049 meets California 16th District (CA-16)
Awarding agency 049 and congressional district CA-16 meet here. $300,775,724.32 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not National Science Foundation nationwide, not every federal dollar coded to California 16th District (CA-16), and not an outlay register. Open California 16th District without this agency filter and National Science Foundation without a CA-16 filter. Correlation is not causation.
187 is an award-action count. Modifications and delivery orders can add rows. Unique vendors are unpublished. Dividing $300,775,724.32 by 187 yields about $1,608,426.33 per award, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. Campaign-finance tables do not fund these obligations. 187 awards is a mid-size action file. Treat the count as records in an aggregate, not as {n} finished projects.
National Science Foundation on the awarding-agency field
National Science Foundation is awarding agency 049. The tag marks who obligated the funds, not which laboratory, campus, or investigator performed the work. Those names are unpublished here. Confusing this join with California statewide NSF totals or the California 24th, 28th NSF overlays would be a different overlay. Packet facts on the agency side are the name National Science Foundation, code 049, and the join dollars $300,775,724.32. Any other recipient or installation list would be invented.
National Science Foundation drops the district filter. Other districts with National Science Foundation awards are other ties. This page quotes only California 16th District (CA-16). A 187-row NSF file is still an action count, not a roster of unique grantees. Directorate and instrument splits are omitted. Campaign donations do not fund this join.
California 16th District (CA-16) as a geography filter
California 16th District (CA-16) is one congressional geography among many in California. NSF cells for California 24th and California 28th are other pairs. Do not add those dollars to this CA-16 cell. Place of performance CA-16 is a geography field in the award file. It does not prove residency of workers or vendors. California federal spending is the statewide parent and includes other districts.
The district's all-agency obligation total is $22,416,065,895.60. $300,775,724.32 is the National Science Foundation slice of that book, about 1.3%. Remaining district dollars sit with other awarding agencies on California 16th District, not inside this join. District 90/98 multi and non-voting placeholders are omitted from this harvest by design.
One hundred eighty-seven awards and the district-wide NSF share
187 awards against $300,775,724.32 implies about $1,608,426.33 per award. That mean is not a unit price and not a jobs figure. With 187 rows, a few large instruments can dominate. Treat the count as records in an aggregate, not as 187 finished projects. All spending ties lists other pairs. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.
Research stories this NSF × CA-16 packet omits
An obligation is a legal commitment. $300,775,724.32 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside CA-16 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as cash already spent in California 16th District (CA-16) over-reads the field. Do not rank California 16th District (CA-16) as a winner or loser versus other districts. Keep both sides in the citation: National Science Foundation and California 16th District (CA-16).
