National Science Foundation obligations in Indiana 4th District (IN-04)

National Science Foundation and Indiana 4th District (IN-04) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 049 and congressional district IN-04 meet here. $326,921,521 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 Indiana 4th District (IN-04), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 297 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $326,921,521 by 297 yields about $1,100,745.86 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 297 awards is a moderate NSF action file. Volume can hide a few large assistance lines; the packet does not identify them or name principal investigators. Do not treat IN-04’s 049 cell as a synonym for every NSF account nationwide. Open Indiana 4th District for the district table without this agency filter, National Science Foundation for agency 049 without the IN-04 filter, Indiana federal spending for every awarding agency in the Indiana extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $326,921,521.

How USAspending labels National Science Foundation

USAspending labels awarding agency 049 as National Science Foundation. That code produced $326,921,521 when crossed with Indiana 4th District (IN-04) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require IN-04 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 297 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Indiana 4th District (IN-04) did not “cause” $326,921,521 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × IN-04 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 IN-04, not a facility map

Indiana 4th District (IN-04) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list IN-04 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Indiana districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 049. Indiana 4th District (IN-04) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Indiana. Other Indiana districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 049. Indiana 4th District (IN-04) is a numbered USAspending geography inside Indiana. Awards tagged to other Indiana districts stay off this page even if the awarding agency is also 049.

Indiana federal spending shows how agency 049 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $326,921,521 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Indiana 4th District (IN-04) 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 $6,080,306,234.62; $326,921,521 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. $326,921,521 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside IN-04 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 $326,921,521 as given.

The pair is not a grant-portfolio roster, a campus census, or a named-principal-investigator file. 5.4% of $6,080,306,234.62 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Share, mean, and what they are not

297 awards is a moderate NSF action file. Volume can hide a few large assistance lines; the packet does not identify them or name principal investigators. 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 $1,100,745.86) and the district share (5.4% of $6,080,306,234.62) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Indiana 4th District and National Science Foundation if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Indiana 4th District (IN-04) 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 $326,921,521 and 297 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 Indiana 4th District (IN-04)?

USAspending.gov lists $326,921,521 in National Science Foundation obligations across 297 awards with place of performance in Indiana 4th District (IN-04). Agency 049 × IN-04 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Indiana’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 5.4% of the district’s published total ($6,080,306,234.62). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1,100,745.86, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $326,921,521 include every NSF program in IN-04?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. $326,921,521 is the combined obligation sum for agency 049 inside IN-04 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Science Foundation and Indiana 4th District to inspect parent tables. 297 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $326,921,521 cash already paid in Indiana 4th District (IN-04)?

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 $326,921,521 as checks already cleared in Indiana 4th District (IN-04) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 297 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

How does this NSF cell relate to Indiana statewide spending?

Indiana federal spending is the Indiana statewide extract across awarding agencies. $326,921,521 is the National Science Foundation amount inside Indiana 4th District (IN-04) only, not the statewide NSF total. Adding Indiana federal spending to $326,921,521 double-counts. Agency 049 nationwide lives on National Science Foundation. This join is 049 × IN-04.
