National Science Foundation obligations in Connecticut

The 049 overlay inside Connecticut

A state-agency tie exists because two tables meet. Here the tables are National Science Foundation (code 049) and Connecticut (CT). $318,407,909.81 is what remains after both filters. Campus-lab and research-grant folklore can explain a search query; it cannot rewrite the cell.

467 rows produced $318,407,909.81. The mean of about $681,815.65 follows from division. High means often mark a few large instruments; low means often mark many small rows. This packet publishes neither a breakdown by award type nor a list of unique campuses.

Open National Science Foundation in Connecticut for the filtered table, Connecticut federal spending for the next hub, National Science Foundation for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

The mean on a NSF–Connecticut overlay

$318,407,909.81 divided by 467 equals about $681,815.65. That sentence uses every numeric fact the packet allows for a per-award figure. It does not authorize a contractor roster, a CFDA list, or a fiscal-year split.

Do not subtract $318,407,909.81 from a remembered national NSF total and call the difference 'Connecticut versus everywhere else.' This packet has no national total.

Place of performance is statewide Connecticut

Place-of-performance Connecticut is statewide; it does not split New Haven, Hartford, and Storrs. Neighbor-coded activity in New York, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island stays out even if mail is handled in New Haven.

New Haven can appear in search queries without appearing as a dollar field. Keep $318,407,909.81 attached to Connecticut, not to a single city.

Payments and recoveries live elsewhere

Outlays, recoveries, and cancellations are different concepts. None of them is a packet fact here. The published unit for $318,407,909.81 is obligations.

A modification that reduces an earlier obligation still counts as an award action in many extracts. That is another reason 467 is not unique campuses.

Correlation is not causation on a state-agency tie

This page is not a ranking of states and not a ranking of agencies. $318,407,909.81 is a cell value. Neighbor cells are other files. They are not winners or losers.

The voice constraint is neutral. This file does not call the spending wasteful or essential. It reports $318,407,909.81 and 467 and the two keys that produced them. NSF obligations in Connecticut and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them with $318,407,909.81.

What to reuse and what to leave out

The overlay, the statewide hub, the agency hub, and the ties index are the four hrefs this packet allows. They are National Science Foundation in Connecticut, Connecticut federal spending, National Science Foundation, and All spending ties.

All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $318,407,909.81. National Science Foundation in Connecticut remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Connecticut is statewide; it does not split New Haven, Hartford, and Storrs. Neighbor-coded activity in New York, Massachusetts, or Rhode Island stays out even if mail is handled in New Haven. Correlation is not causation. Campus-lab and research-grant folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Shoreline-campus and river-city folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 049 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national NSF budget on this page. Connecticut's $318,407,909.81 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Science Foundation and call the difference 'Connecticut versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. National Science Foundation is the awarding-agency label stored on the Connecticut overlay; the numeric key is 049. Readers who only remember the short name NSF still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $318,407,909.81. The 467 figure is not a count of unique campuses and is not a count of distinct NSF programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $681,815.65 is not a typical research-grant award. Storrs is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/ct/agencies/049/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-science-foundation-in-connecticut/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $318,407,909.81 or 467, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $318,407,909.81, 467 awards, agency 049, National Science Foundation, Connecticut (CT), and the obligation unit.
