National Science Foundation federal obligations in Florida
National Science Foundation shows $983,758,983.90 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Florida, across 1,315 awards. Awarding-agency 049 and Florida (FL) are the pair. 1,315 awards against $983,758,983.90 is a 1,315-award science-foundation file, not a university directory. The implied mean is about $748,105.69 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- National Science Foundation obligated $983,758,983.90 in Florida across 1,315 awards (USAspending.gov).
- The pair is awarding-agency 049 × place-of-performance FL.
- Amounts are obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is in this packet.
- The implied mean near $748,105.69 is $983,758,983.90 divided by 1315, not a typical award.
- The join does not name contractors and does not measure principal-investigator counts, publication tallies, or named campuses.
Foundation 049 overlapping Florida
National Science Foundation as awarding agency, Florida as place-of-performance: 1,315 records summing to $983,758,983.90. A National Science Foundation award coded outside FL is out. An award in Florida from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Florida (FL) excludes Georgia and Alabama. A Gainesville-coded award with a Georgia place-of-performance tag is a different cell.
1,315 awards against $983,758,983.90 is a 1,315-award science-foundation file, not a university directory. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 1315 as 1315 unique principal-investigator counts, publication tallies, or named campuses. National Science Foundation in Florida is the both-keys table. Florida federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Science Foundation is the agency book without an FL filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Directorates and named campuses are unpublished. Do not invent universities or principal investigators. Correlation is not causation: Florida did not cause $983,758,983.90 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 049 × FL only.
Research folklore is not a packet field
$983,758,983.90 does not measure principal-investigator counts, publication tallies, or named campuses. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 049 and an FL place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 1315 awards as a census of principal-investigator counts, publication tallies, or named campuses. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Florida federal spending or National Science Foundation matched $983,758,983.90 and 1315, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state NSF joins are other pairs, not addends.
Florida, not a university-town list
Place of performance FL is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Florida (FL) excludes Georgia and Alabama. A Gainesville-coded award with a Georgia place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
This packet does not split $983,758,983.90 by city, county, or named facility. 1315 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.
One thousand three hundred fifteen obligations
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $983,758,983.90 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Florida confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Florida’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 1,315 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $983,758,983.90. Sharing a geography with National Science Foundation does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.
Citing NSF in Florida
Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $983,758,983.90 on 1,315 awards coded to Florida. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as principal-investigator counts, publication tallies, or named campuses.
Prefer National Science Foundation in Florida if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Florida federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to FL. National Science Foundation is the 049 parent without the FL filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $983,758,983.90.
A usable footnote names National Science Foundation, Florida, $983,758,983.90, and 1315. The compact headline $983.8M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $748,105.69 is $983,758,983.90 divided by 1315. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
NSF 049 is not Department of State 019
Florida’s NSF overlay is 1315 awards totaling $983,758,983.90 on awarding-agency 049. Department of State in Florida uses 019. Do not invent universities, ships, or principal investigators. Directorate splits are unpublished. Georgia remains a different state tag.
Questions
- How much has National Science Foundation obligated in Florida?
- USAspending.gov records $983,758,983.90 across 1,315 awards with awarding agency 049 and a Florida tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Florida’s full federal book. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
- Do 1,315 NSF awards mean 1,315 Florida research grants?
- No. $983,758,983.90 is an obligation sum on awarding-agency 049 × FL. It does not measure principal-investigator counts, publication tallies, or named campuses. Those series are not fields on this aggregate. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
- Why does this NSF file have 1315 awards?
- 1315 is an award-record count, including possible continuations and modifications. Dividing $983,758,983.90 by 1315 yields about $748,105.69 as a mean, not a typical project. Unique recipients are unpublished. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
- Where is the live table for National Science Foundation in Florida?
- National Science Foundation in Florida is the overlay for both keys. Florida federal spending is the all-agency Florida hub. National Science Foundation is the agency parent. All spending ties indexes other spending ties. Prefer the overlay when both filters must stay on.
