National Science Foundation federal obligations in Minnesota

Foundation 049 overlapping Minnesota

This page is a JOIN of two keys: National Science Foundation on the agency side and Minnesota on the state side. The packet stores $410,377,895.65 and 533 awards. Records coded to another state, or to another awarding agency inside Minnesota, belong on other overlays. Minnesota (MN) excludes Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota. A Minneapolis-coded award with a Wisconsin place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

The row count 533 can include continuations and modifications. It is not 533 unique named campuses, principal investigators, or directorate tallies. 533 awards against $410,377,895.65 is a 533-award research-agency file, not a university census. National Science Foundation in Minnesota is the overlay for this pair. Minnesota federal spending remains the statewide hub. National Science Foundation remains the agency parent. All spending ties lists other joins.

Directorates and named campuses are unpublished. Do not invent universities or principal investigators. A large or small state population is not in this packet and does not explain $410,377,895.65. Correlation is not causation. Stay on 049 × MN.

Grant folklore is not a packet field

$410,377,895.65 does not measure named campuses, principal investigators, or directorate tallies. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 049 and an MN place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 533 awards as a census of named campuses, principal investigators, or directorate tallies. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Minnesota federal spending or National Science Foundation matched $410,377,895.65 and 533, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state NSF joins are other pairs, not addends.

Minnesota, not a Twin Cities-only map

Statewide means statewide: this packet does not publish a city split. Minnesota (MN) excludes Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota, and South Dakota. A Minneapolis-coded award with a Wisconsin place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from the place-of-performance tag.

This packet does not split $410,377,895.65 by city, county, or named facility. 533 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Five hundred thirty-three NSF obligations

An obligation can sit on the books before cash moves. Treating $410,377,895.65 as money already spent in Minnesota relabels the series. Deobligations and upward adjustments both change the total. Outlays are a different concept.

Minnesota’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 533 awards 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 $410,377,895.65. Sharing a geography with National Science Foundation does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing the National Science Foundation in Minnesota

Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $410,377,895.65 on 533 awards coded to Minnesota. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named campuses, principal investigators, or directorate tallies.

Prefer National Science Foundation in Minnesota if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Minnesota federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to MN. National Science Foundation is the 049 parent without the MN filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $410,377,895.65.

A usable footnote names National Science Foundation, Minnesota, $410,377,895.65, and 533. The compact headline $410.4M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $769,939.77 is $410,377,895.65 divided by 533. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
