National Science Foundation federal obligations in Kansas

Two filters produce one cell: National Science Foundation as awarding agency 049 and Kansas as geography. USAspending.gov publishes $190,648,260 and 249 awards for that pair. Neither filter alone is the number on this page.

Key figures

  • USAspending cell: NSF × Kansas = $190,648,260.
  • 249 records, about $765,655.66 each as a mean.
  • Outlays and fiscal-year splits are unpublished here.
  • No fiscal year is in the facts for $190,648,260.
  • No contractor names in this packet; geography is statewide Kansas.

Both keys, one total: 049 and KS

Drop the Kansas filter and $190,648,260 is no longer this page. Drop the National Science Foundation filter and $190,648,260 is no longer this page. The join is the product of both keys on USAspending.gov.

249 award actions sit under $190,648,260. That count is a mid-size award list. It is not a roster of campuses. Campus-lab and research-grant folklore stays off the numeric line.

A mean of $765,655.66 without a distribution

Arithmetic is allowed: $190,648,260 ÷ 249 ≈ $765,655.66. Interpretation as a typical research-grant award is not allowed, because the packet has no median, no quartiles, and no award-type split.

University, stem, and research-center folklore may be a later research question on another extract. This file does not smuggle those columns in.

Kansas federal spending is the wider state book

Kansas federal spending includes every awarding agency tagged to Kansas. National Science Foundation includes every geography tagged to National Science Foundation. National Science Foundation in Kansas is the overlap that produced $190,648,260.

Sibling overlays for agency 049 in other states are not remainders of this cell. This packet has no national NSF total to subtract from.

What the source note actually says

USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays. That sentence is the unit rule for every reuse of this page.

No fiscal year is in the facts. Inventing one would be a packet violation. Keep $190,648,260 unlabeled by FY until a later extract supplies one.

Kansas outcomes are not proven by $190,648,260

Correlation is not causation. $190,648,260 does not prove that National Science Foundation activity caused Kansas economic results, and Kansas results do not prove why the cell equals $190,648,260.

FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Keep campaign-finance files on their own site. Keep $190,648,260 on USAspending.gov.

Do not subtract it from National Science Foundation and call the difference 'Kansas versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. National Science Foundation is the awarding-agency label stored on the Kansas overlay; the numeric key is 049. Readers who only remember the short name NSF still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $190,648,260. The 249 figure is not a count of campuses and is not a count of distinct NSF programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $765,655.66 is not a typical research-grant award. Wichita is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/ks/agencies/049/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-science-foundation-in-kansas/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $190,648,260 or 249, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $190,648,260, 249 awards, agency 049, National Science Foundation, Kansas (KS), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $190,648,260. National Science Foundation in Kansas remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Kansas is statewide; it does not split Wichita, Topeka, and Kansas City. Neighbor-coded activity in Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, or Colorado stays out even if mail is handled in Wichita. Correlation is not causation. Campus-lab and research-grant folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Plains, aviation-city, and capital-city folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 049 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national NSF budget on this page. Kansas's $190,648,260 cell stands alone. Repeat the pair before any reuse: National Science Foundation in Kansas. Repeat the source: USAspending.gov. Repeat the unit: obligations, not outlays. The overlay path /states/ks/agencies/049/ and the canonical path /ties/national-science-foundation-in-kansas/ describe the same join. Internal links stay limited to the four packet hrefs. No other URL is added. No recipient, contractor, or donor name is invented to fill space. The facts remain the dollar total, the award count, the agency code, the agency name, the state name, and the state code.

Questions

What USAspending total pairs National Science Foundation with Kansas?
USAspending.gov records $190,648,260 in obligations for awarding agency 049 (National Science Foundation) with Kansas place of performance, covering 249 awards. That is an obligation total, not an outlay total, and not National Science Foundation's nationwide budget. The pair is a join, not a ranking.
Why is $765,655.66 not a typical Kansas NSF award?
The extract lists 249 award actions totaling $190,648,260. Average obligation per award is about $765,655.66, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical research-grant award. Unique campuses are not published here. Original filings remain on the source sites.
Does the Kansas NSF join include Missouri?
No. $190,648,260 and 249 awards are statewide Kansas place of performance. This packet does not split Wichita, Topeka, and Kansas City. Awards coded to Missouri, Nebraska, Oklahoma, or Colorado are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Wichita. The geography key remains KS.
What URL is the National Science Foundation × Kansas overlay?
National Science Foundation in Kansas is the overlay. Kansas federal spending shows all agencies in the state. National Science Foundation shows agency 049 without a state filter. All spending ties lists other pairs. Original filings remain on the source sites.
