National Science Foundation obligations in California 47th District (CA-47)

Reading agency 049 inside CA-47

Awarding agency 049 and congressional district CA-47 meet here. $155,827,474 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 California 47th District (CA-47), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 175 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $155,827,474 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $12,184,859,872.40; the 1.3% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of California 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 $155,827,474 when crossed with California 47th District (CA-47) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require CA-47 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 175 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: California 47th District (CA-47) did not “cause” $155,827,474 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × CA-47 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 California geography is coded on this join

California 47th District (CA-47) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list CA-47 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other California districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 049. California 47th District (CA-47) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside California. Other California districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 049. California 47th District (CA-47) is not CA-39. Same NSF code, different geography, different dollar share of a larger district book.

California federal spending shows how agency 049 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $155,827,474 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split California 47th District (CA-47) 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 $12,184,859,872.40; $155,827,474 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. $155,827,474 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside CA-47 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 $155,827,474 as given.

California’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 175-row NSF cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 175 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 ($890,442.71) is a concentration statistic, not a typical CA-47 NSF payment.

Parents of this tie: district, agency, state

Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $155,827,474 on 175 awards coded to California 47th District (CA-47). Name National Science Foundation and California 47th District (CA-47) together. Keep the obligation word. If California 47th 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. 1.3% of $12,184,859,872.40 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep National Science Foundation, California 47th District (CA-47), $155,827,474, and 175 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. National Science Foundation is the 049 parent without a CA-47 filter. California federal spending is the California 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 CA-47 × 049 snapshot

175 awards is a moderate NSF file. A one-percent share of a twelve-billion-dollar district total is still a one-hundred-fifty-six-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 $890,442.71) and the district share (1.3% of $12,184,859,872.40) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer California 47th District and National Science Foundation if the live tables moved.

Do not rank California 47th District (CA-47) 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 $155,827,474 and 175 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 California 47th District (CA-47)?

USAspending.gov lists $155,827,474 in National Science Foundation obligations across 175 awards with place of performance in California 47th District (CA-47). Agency 049 × CA-47 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not California’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 1.3% of the district’s published total ($12,184,859,872.40). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $890,442.71, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $155,827,474 include every NSF program in CA-47?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. $155,827,474 is the combined obligation sum for agency 049 inside CA-47 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Science Foundation and California 47th District to inspect parent tables. 175 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $155,827,474 cash already paid in California 47th District (CA-47)?

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 $155,827,474 as checks already cleared in California 47th District (CA-47) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 175 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Do FEC donations fund these NSF awards in CA-47?

No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing California geography does not mean donations funded $155,827,474 in California 47th District (CA-47). This page reports USAspending.gov awarding-agency 049 crossed with place of performance CA-47. It does not report campaign finance.
