National Science Foundation obligations in Illinois 1st District (IL-01)

National Science Foundation and Illinois 1st District (IL-01) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 049 and congressional district IL-01 meet here. $263,246,315 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 Illinois 1st District (IL-01), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 195 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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.

Dividing $263,246,315 by 195 yields about $1,349,981.10 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 195 awards is a mid-size NSF file. The implied mean sits above a small-grant average; the packet does not pick a typical line or name campuses. Do not treat IL-01’s 049 cell as a synonym for every NSF account nationwide. Open Illinois 1st District for the district table without this agency filter, National Science Foundation for agency 049 without the IL-01 filter, Illinois federal spending for every awarding agency in the Illinois extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $263,246,315.

How USAspending labels National Science Foundation

USAspending labels awarding agency 049 as National Science Foundation. That code produced $263,246,315 when crossed with Illinois 1st District (IL-01) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require IL-01 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 195 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Illinois 1st District (IL-01) did not “cause” $263,246,315 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × IL-01 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.

Geography is IL-01, not a facility map

Illinois 1st District (IL-01) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list IL-01 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Illinois districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 049. Illinois 1st District (IL-01) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Illinois. Other Illinois districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 049. Illinois 1st District (IL-01) is distinct from Illinois 9th District. Same awarding-agency code 049, different place-of-performance stamp, different dollar total.

Illinois federal spending shows how agency 049 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $263,246,315 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Illinois 1st District (IL-01) 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 $2,599,395,173.37; $263,246,315 is the NSF slice of that denominator.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $263,246,315 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside IL-01 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 $263,246,315 as given.

Keeping both sides of the 049 × IL-01 pair

Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $263,246,315 on 195 awards coded to Illinois 1st District (IL-01). Name National Science Foundation and Illinois 1st District (IL-01) together. Keep the obligation word. If Illinois 1st 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. 10.1% of $2,599,395,173.37 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Share, mean, and what they are not

195 awards is a mid-size NSF file. The implied mean sits above a small-grant average; the packet does not pick a typical line or name campuses. 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 $1,349,981.10) and the district share (10.1% of $2,599,395,173.37) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Illinois 1st District and National Science Foundation if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Illinois 1st District (IL-01) 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 $263,246,315 and 195 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 Illinois 1st District (IL-01)?

USAspending.gov lists $263,246,315 in National Science Foundation obligations across 195 awards with place of performance in Illinois 1st District (IL-01). Agency 049 × IL-01 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Illinois’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 10.1% of the district’s published total ($2,599,395,173.37). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1,349,981.10, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $263,246,315 include every NSF program in IL-01?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. $263,246,315 is the combined obligation sum for agency 049 inside IL-01 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Science Foundation and Illinois 1st District to inspect parent tables. 195 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $263,246,315 cash already paid in Illinois 1st District (IL-01)?

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 $263,246,315 as checks already cleared in Illinois 1st District (IL-01) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 195 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

How does this NSF cell relate to Illinois statewide spending?

Illinois federal spending is the Illinois statewide extract across awarding agencies. $263,246,315 is the National Science Foundation amount inside Illinois 1st District (IL-01) only, not the statewide NSF total. Adding Illinois federal spending to $263,246,315 double-counts. Agency 049 nationwide lives on National Science Foundation. This join is 049 × IL-01.
