National Science Foundation federal obligations in Nebraska

Reading $209,595,655.46 as a two-filter total

Start with the pair, not a story. National Science Foundation plus Nebraska is the definition of this page. $209,595,655.46 is the obligation aggregate USAspending.gov reports for that pair. 258 is the accompanying award count. Nothing else in the packet adds a third total.

Behind $209,595,655.46 sit 258 recorded actions. That is a mid-size award list. A long list is not automatically many distinct projects, and a short list is not automatically one project. The packet does not include a unique-award or unique-recipient field.

Division is not a typical-award study

Keep $812,386.26 labeled as a mean. Do not call it a typical research-grant award in Nebraska. Typical would require a distribution, and the packet has only a sum and a count. National Science Foundation in Nebraska remains the live table.

The source note is unchanged: USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays.

Nebraska geography versus neighboring codes

Nebraska federal spending collects every awarding agency tagged to Nebraska. National Science Foundation collects every state tagged to National Science Foundation. Only National Science Foundation in Nebraska is supposed to match $209,595,655.46 among those three links.

If a reader needs a city table, this packet is the wrong artifact. Statewide Nebraska is the only geography grain published here.

No fiscal year is published in the facts

The sourceNote is: USAspending.gov aggregate of federal obligations by state and awarding agency. Obligations are not outlays. Repeating $209,595,655.46 as cash already spent in Nebraska is a unit error, not a rounding error.

Cite USAspending.gov as the source. Do not cite FEC, Census, or a press office as the origin of $209,595,655.46. Those are other systems.

Donations do not fund this USAspending cell

No contractor, grantee, or beneficiary name is in the packet, so none is invented here. Unique campuses would live on the overlay if USAspending.gov lists them there.

Correlation is not causation. A large NSF cell in Nebraska does not explain Nebraska politics, and Nebraska politics does not explain $209,595,655.46.

Closing the loop on agency 049 and NE

Reuse $209,595,655.46 only with both filters visible. Agency 049 without Nebraska is National Science Foundation. Nebraska without agency 049 is Nebraska federal spending.

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. Nebraska's $209,595,655.46 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Science Foundation and call the difference 'Nebraska 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 Nebraska 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 $209,595,655.46. The 258 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 $812,386.26 is not a typical research-grant award. Omaha is a reader landmark, not a published subtotal. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/ne/agencies/049/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-science-foundation-in-nebraska/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $209,595,655.46 or 258, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $209,595,655.46, 258 awards, agency 049, National Science Foundation, Nebraska (NE), and the obligation unit. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $209,595,655.46. National Science Foundation in Nebraska remains the place to verify the live rows. Place-of-performance Nebraska is statewide; it does not split Omaha, Lincoln, and Grand Island. Neighbor-coded activity in Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming, or Missouri stays out even if mail is handled in Omaha. 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, river-city, and sandhills folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math.

Questions

What is the NSF obligation total for Nebraska?

USAspending.gov records $209,595,655.46 in obligations for awarding agency 049 (National Science Foundation) with Nebraska place of performance, covering 258 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.

Does this Nebraska NSF extract name campuses?

The extract lists 258 award actions totaling $209,595,655.46. Average obligation per award is about $812,386.26, 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.

Are neighboring NSF awards in this Nebraska cell?

No. $209,595,655.46 and 258 awards are statewide Nebraska place of performance. This packet does not split Omaha, Lincoln, and Grand Island. Awards coded to Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming, or Missouri are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Omaha. The geography key remains NE.

Where is the Nebraska overlay for NSF agency 049?

National Science Foundation in Nebraska is the overlay. Nebraska 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.
