National Science Foundation obligations in Illinois 9th District (IL-09)

A place-of-performance join: NSF × IL-09

Awarding agency 049 and congressional district IL-09 meet here. $175,235,402 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 9th District (IL-09), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 156 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $175,235,402 by 156 yields about $1,123,303.86 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 156 awards is a compact-to-moderate NSF file. Do not merge IL-09 with IL-01 when citing National Science Foundation dollars. Do not treat IL-09’s 049 cell as a synonym for every NSF account nationwide. Open Illinois 9th District for the district table without this agency filter, National Science Foundation for agency 049 without the IL-09 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 $175,235,402.

National Science Foundation as awarding agency, not as a named-vendor list

USAspending labels awarding agency 049 as National Science Foundation. That code produced $175,235,402 when crossed with Illinois 9th District (IL-09) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require IL-09 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 156 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Illinois 9th District (IL-09) did not “cause” $175,235,402 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × IL-09 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.

Place of performance for Illinois 9th District (IL-09)

Illinois 9th District (IL-09) 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-09 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Illinois districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 049. Illinois 9th District (IL-09) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Illinois. Other Illinois districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 049. Illinois 9th District (IL-09) is not Illinois 1st District. Same awarding-agency code 049, different geography, different dollar total and row count.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $175,235,402 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside IL-09 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 $175,235,402 as given.

Illinois’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 156-row NSF cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 156 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 ($1,123,303.86) is a concentration statistic, not a typical IL-09 NSF payment.

Using 7.0% and $1,123,303.86 without overclaiming

156 awards is a compact-to-moderate NSF file. Do not merge IL-09 with IL-01 when citing National Science Foundation dollars. 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 $1,123,303.86) and the district share (7.0% of $2,486,077,601.36) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Illinois 9th District and National Science Foundation if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Illinois 9th District (IL-09) 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 $175,235,402 and 156 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. $175,235,402 is the combined obligation sum for agency 049 inside IL-09 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Science Foundation and Illinois 9th District to inspect parent tables. 156 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $175,235,402 cash already paid in Illinois 9th District (IL-09)?

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.
