National Science Foundation federal obligations in Indiana

NSF awards tagged to Indiana

National Science Foundation as awarding agency, Indiana as place-of-performance: 933 records summing to $755,587,682. A National Science Foundation award coded outside IN is out. An award in Indiana from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Indiana (IN) excludes Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, and Michigan. A Michigan-coded NSF award is the Michigan NSF join, not this cell.

Nine hundred thirty-three awards against $755,587,682 is a mid-count NSF file, nearly matching Georgia’s 967 on a slightly smaller dollar book. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 933 as 933 unique unique grants, papers, or named universities. National Science Foundation in Indiana is the both-keys table. Indiana federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Science Foundation is the agency book without an IN filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named campuses are unpublished. Do not treat 933 as a West Lafayette-versus-Bloomington split. Agency 049 × IN is the pair. Correlation is not causation: Indiana did not cause $755,587,682 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 049 × IN only. Campaign contributions do not fund these USAspending awards.

933 rows are not 933 unique labs

$755,587,682 does not measure unique grants, papers, or named universities. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 049 and an IN place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 933 awards as a census of unique grants, papers, or named universities. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Indiana federal spending or National Science Foundation matched $755,587,682 and 933, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Illinois, Ohio, and the Georgia NSF join in this slice are other pairs, not addends.

Indiana statewide, not a two-campus map

Place of performance IN is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Indiana (IN) excludes Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, and Michigan. A Michigan-coded NSF award is the Michigan NSF join, not this cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

Named campuses are unpublished. Do not treat 933 as a West Lafayette-versus-Bloomington split. Agency 049 × IN is the pair. This packet does not split $755,587,682 by city, county, or named facility. 933 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.

Research vehicles versus outlays

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $755,587,682 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Indiana confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Indiana’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 933-award 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 $755,587,682. The compact headline $756 million is that same dollar total rounded, not a second extract.

Citing NSF in Indiana

Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $755,587,682 on 933 awards coded to Indiana. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as unique grants, papers, or named universities.

Prefer National Science Foundation in Indiana if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Indiana federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to IN. National Science Foundation is the 049 parent without the IN filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $755,587,682. The implied mean near $809,847 is $755,587,682 divided by 933. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Nine hundred thirty-three awards against $755,587,682 is a mid-count NSF file, nearly matching Georgia’s 967 on a slightly smaller dollar book. On this join the implied mean near $809,847 should not be treated as a typical award size. Without a distribution, $755,587,682 can be dominated by a few rows even when 933 is large, or by those same few rows when 933 is small. This page will not pretend to know which pattern holds. It keeps repeating the two facts and the two keys: National Science Foundation (049) and Indiana (IN). Place of performance still does not mean every dollar was disbursed locally. Obligations still do not mean outlays. Named campuses are unpublished. Do not treat 933 as a West Lafayette-versus-Bloomington split. Agency 049 × IN is the pair.
