National Science Foundation federal obligations in Delaware

One USAspending cell: National Science Foundation and Delaware

This page is a join: National Science Foundation as awarding agency 049, Delaware as place of performance. The published cell is $217,813,326. That number does not describe every NSF bureau account in the country, and it does not describe every federal award in Delaware. Campus-lab and research-grant folklore is a reader path, not a column in this extract.

The award count is 223 — a mid-size award list. Repeat awards and modifications still add rows; the listed count is not a unique-recipient census and not a census of campuses. Names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars.

Instruments behind 223 rows

About $976,741.37 per award is $217,813,326 ÷ 223. 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 campuses. Campus-lab and research-grant folklore remains outside the numeric fields.

University, stem, and research-center folklore may explain a click. It does not add dollars, awards, or campuses to the extract. Keep the published pair at $217,813,326 and 223.

Neighbor-coded work is excluded

National Science Foundation is National Science Foundation without a state filter. Delaware federal spending is Delaware without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide NSF book as if it were Delaware's $217,813,326 cell is a misread of the join.

No metro split of Wilmington, Dover, and Newark is published here. Awards coded to Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or Maryland are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Wilmington.

De-obligations are not in this packet

$217,813,326 records commitments tagged to National Science Foundation and Delaware. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

223 actions can include modifications that change a prior obligation. That is why a record count is not a unique-project census. Use National Science Foundation in Delaware for the live table.

No contractor roster in this packet

The join is descriptive. $217,813,326 does not prove that Delaware received too much or too little NSF money, and it does not prove that NSF activity caused local outcomes. No performance metric is in the packet.

Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. National Science Foundation obligations in Delaware and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them.

Where National Science Foundation in Delaware sits among other ties

Cite both sides: National Science Foundation (agency 049) and Delaware. Then cite $217,813,326 and 223. Then cite USAspending.gov. Skip metro folklore about Wilmington, Dover, and Newark. Skip invented campuses.

Until then, the reusable facts are $217,813,326, 223 awards, agency 049, National Science Foundation, Delaware (DE), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $217,813,326. National Science Foundation in Delaware remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Delaware is statewide; it does not split Wilmington, Dover, and Newark. Neighbor-coded activity in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or Maryland stays out even if mail is handled in Wilmington. 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. Coastal-plain, river-port, and capital-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. Delaware's $217,813,326 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Science Foundation and call the difference 'Delaware 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 Delaware 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 $217,813,326. The 223 figure is not a count of 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 $976,741.37 is not a typical research-grant award. Wilmington is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/de/agencies/049/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-science-foundation-in-delaware/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $217,813,326 or 223, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract.
