National Science Foundation in Massachusetts 2nd District (MA-02)

How NSF meets Massachusetts 2nd District (MA-02)

The pair on this overlay is National Science Foundation inside Massachusetts 2nd District (MA-02) place of performance. $190,342,246 is that obligation rollup. It is not Massachusetts's complete federal inflow, not National Science Foundation nationwide, and not cash already paid. Massachusetts 2nd District and National Science Foundation are parents, not addends. Correlation is not causation.

249 is an award-action count. Modifications and delivery orders can add rows. Unique vendors are unpublished. Dividing $190,342,246 by 249 yields about $764,426.69 per award, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. Campaign-finance tables do not fund these obligations. 249 awards is a mid-size action file. Treat the count as records in an aggregate, not as {n} finished projects.

National Science Foundation, agency code 049

Awarding agency 049 is National Science Foundation. Two hundred forty-nine is an action count, not a unique-campus census. This packet does not name universities. Confusing this join with Massachusetts statewide NSF totals or the Massachusetts 8th Justice overlay would be a different overlay. Packet facts on the agency side are the name National Science Foundation, code 049, and the join dollars $190,342,246. Any other recipient or installation list would be invented.

National Science Foundation drops the district filter. Other districts with National Science Foundation awards are other ties. This page quotes only Massachusetts 2nd District (MA-02). Do not treat MA-02 as the NSF capital of Massachusetts. Directorate and instrument splits are omitted. FEC donations do not fund this join.

Massachusetts 2nd District (MA-02) as the geography stamp

Massachusetts 2nd District (MA-02) is a numbered congressional geography. Department of Justice on Massachusetts 8th is a different agency join. Other Massachusetts districts are other pairs. Place of performance MA-02 is a geography field in the award file. It does not prove residency of workers or vendors. Massachusetts federal spending is the statewide parent and includes other districts.

The district's all-agency obligation total is $5,742,787,875.11. $190,342,246 is the National Science Foundation slice of that book, about 3.3%. Remaining district dollars sit with other awarding agencies on Massachusetts 2nd District, not inside this join. District 90/98 multi and non-voting placeholders are omitted from this harvest by design.

Two hundred forty-nine awards and the district share

249 awards against $190,342,246 implies about $764,426.69 per award. That mean is not a unit price and not a jobs figure. With 249 rows, a few large instruments can dominate. Treat the count as records in an aggregate, not as 249 finished projects. All spending ties lists other pairs. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.

Campus stories this NSF × MA-02 packet omits

An obligation is a legal commitment. $190,342,246 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside MA-02 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as cash already spent in Massachusetts 2nd District (MA-02) over-reads the field. Do not rank Massachusetts 2nd District (MA-02) as a winner or loser versus other districts. Keep both sides in the citation: National Science Foundation and Massachusetts 2nd District (MA-02).
