NSF federal obligations in Michigan 6th District (MI-06)

A place-of-performance join: NSF × MI-06

Awarding agency 049 and congressional district MI-06 meet here. $407,287,320 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 Michigan 6th District (MI-06), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 388 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a campus roster, a grant-title catalog, or a named-principal-investigator file.

Dividing $407,287,320 by 388 yields about $1,049,709.59 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 388 awards is a mid-size NSF file. Row-count similarity with other NSF pages does not merge the geographies. Do not treat MI-06's 049 cell as a synonym for every NSF account nationwide. Open Michigan 6th District for the district table without this agency filter, National Science Foundation for agency 049 without a MI-06 filter, Michigan federal spending for every awarding agency in the Michigan extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $407,287,320.

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

USAspending labels awarding agency 049 as National Science Foundation. That code produced $407,287,320 when crossed with Michigan 6th District (MI-06) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require MI-06 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 388 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Michigan 6th District (MI-06) did not cause $407,287,320 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × MI-06 only. This cell is not a campus roster, a grant-title catalog, 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 Michigan 6th District (MI-06)

Michigan 6th District (MI-06) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list MI-06 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Michigan districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 049. Michigan 6th District (MI-06) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Michigan. Other Michigan districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 049. Michigan 6th District (MI-06) is not other Michigan districts that host GSA. This page is NSF × MI-06 only.

Obligation math for this join

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $407,287,320 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside MI-06 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 $407,287,320 as given.

Michigan's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 388-row NSF cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 388 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 ($1,049,709.59) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MI-06 NSF payment.

Using 4.5% and $1,049,709.59 without overclaiming

388 awards is a mid-size NSF file. Row-count similarity with other NSF pages does not merge the geographies. Another NSF share can be tiny because its district denominator is huge. MI-06's four-percent share is a different arithmetic on a different book. 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 $1,049,709.59) and the district share (4.5% of $9,141,044,476.57) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Michigan 6th District and National Science Foundation if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Michigan 6th District (MI-06) 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 $407,287,320 and 388 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
