National Science Foundation obligations in Missouri

National Science Foundation dollars tagged to Missouri

National Science Foundation appears here as the awarding-agency label on a Missouri overlay. The numeric agency key is 049. Readers who only remember the short name NSF still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $308,930,036.80. River-city, ozarks, and plains-campus folklore does not substitute for those keys.

Treat 490 as a row count. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is why unique campuses are not inferred from the count. The overlay table is the place to inspect instruments; this narrative stays with the two published facts.

Open National Science Foundation in Missouri for the filtered table, Missouri federal spending for the next hub, National Science Foundation for the remaining hub, and All spending ties for other pairs.

What $630,469.46 is and is not

If the overlay later shows many small modifications, the mean will look large relative to those rows. If it shows a handful of large actions, the mean will look closer to those actions. This file cannot choose between those readings because award type is unpublished.

Use National Science Foundation in Missouri when you need rows. Use this page when you need the join explained in prose. Both should keep the unit as obligations.

What dropping either filter does to the total

St. Louis, Kansas City, and Columbia are reader landmarks, not packet subtotals. The geography key is statewide Missouri. Headquarters folklore about St. Louis does not move $308,930,036.80.

Do not add Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, Arkansas, or Oklahoma into $308,930,036.80 by analogy. The extract is Missouri only. Correlation is not causation.

What USAspending.gov is counting here

490 actions can include modifications that change a prior obligation. That is why a record count is not a unique-project census. Use National Science Foundation in Missouri for the live table.

De-obligations, if they exist in the underlying awards, are not broken out here. The packet gives one net-style obligation aggregate: $308,930,036.80.

What the join is not

Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. National Science Foundation obligations in Missouri and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them.

If a headline needs a vendor, stop and open National Science Foundation in Missouri instead of extending this file. Inventing a recipient would break the packet contract.

A one-line caption that names both sides

A complete citation names National Science Foundation, Missouri, $308,930,036.80, 490, obligations, and USAspending.gov. Dropping the agency or the state turns the sentence into a different page.

All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $308,930,036.80. National Science Foundation in Missouri remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Missouri is statewide; it does not split St. Louis, Kansas City, and Columbia. Neighbor-coded activity in Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, Arkansas, or Oklahoma stays out even if mail is handled in St. Louis. 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. River-city, ozarks, and plains-campus 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. Missouri's $308,930,036.80 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Science Foundation and call the difference 'Missouri 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 Missouri 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 $308,930,036.80. The 490 figure is not a count of unique 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 $630,469.46 is not a typical research-grant award. Ozarks folklore is unused as math. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/mo/agencies/049/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-science-foundation-in-missouri/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $308,930,036.80 or 490, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $308,930,036.80, 490 awards, agency 049, National Science Foundation, Missouri (MO), and the obligation unit.

Questions

What is the NSF obligation total for Missouri?

USAspending.gov records $308,930,036.80 in obligations for awarding agency 049 (National Science Foundation) with Missouri place of performance, covering 490 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.

Is the Missouri NSF mean a typical research award?

The extract lists 490 award actions totaling $308,930,036.80. Average obligation per award is about $630,469.46, 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. This page does not invent recipients.

Does this Missouri NSF cell include Illinois-coded awards?

No. $308,930,036.80 and 490 awards are statewide Missouri place of performance. This packet does not split St. Louis, Kansas City, and Columbia. Awards coded to Illinois, Kansas, Iowa, Arkansas, or Oklahoma are outside this cell even if mail is handled in St. Louis. The geography key remains MO.

Which page filters NSF agency 049 to Missouri?

National Science Foundation in Missouri is the overlay. Missouri 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.
