National Science Foundation federal obligations in Nevada

Reading NSF dollars as a two-filter total in Nevada

Start with the pair, not a story. National Science Foundation plus Nevada is the definition of this page. $147,012,517 is the obligation aggregate USAspending.gov reports for that pair. 214 is the accompanying award count. Nothing else in the packet adds a third total.

Behind $147,012,517 sit 214 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

About $686,974.38 per award is $147,012,517 ÷ 214. High means often mark a few large instruments; low means often mark many small rows. This packet publishes neither a breakdown by award type nor a list of unique campuses or principal investigators. Research-grant, campus-lab, and stem folklore remains outside the numeric fields.

Research-grant, campus-lab, and stem folklore may explain a click. It does not add dollars, awards, or unique campuses or principal investigators to the extract. Keep the published pair at $147,012,517 and 214.

Nevada geography versus California or Arizona

National Science Foundation is National Science Foundation without a state filter. Nevada federal spending is Nevada without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide NSF book as if it were Nevada's $147,012,517 cell is a misread of the join.

No metro split of Las Vegas, Reno, and Carson City is published here. Awards coded to California, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, or Arizona are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Las Vegas. The overlay path already encodes both the state tag and agency 049.

No fiscal year is published in the facts

$147,012,517 records commitments tagged to National Science Foundation and Nevada. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

214 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 Nevada for the live table. Agency 049 is the awarding-agency key stored on that overlay.

Donations do not fund this USAspending cell

The join is descriptive. $147,012,517 does not prove that Nevada received too much or too little National Science Foundation money, and it does not prove that National Science Foundation activity caused local outcomes. No performance metric is in the packet.

Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. National Science Foundation obligations in Nevada and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them. Unique campuses or principal investigators are unpublished here, so none are invented.

Closing the loop on agency 049 and NV

National Science Foundation in Nevada remains the place to verify the live rows. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $147,012,517. Place-of-performance Nevada is statewide; it does not split Las Vegas, Reno, and Carson City. Neighbor-coded activity in California, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, or Arizona stays out even if mail is handled in Las Vegas. Correlation is not causation. Research-grant, campus-lab, and stem 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. High-desert, sierra-front, and basin 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. Nevada's $147,012,517 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Science Foundation and call the difference 'Nevada 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 Nevada 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 $147,012,517. The 214 figure is not a count of unique campuses or principal investigators 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 $686,974.38 is not a typical research-grant award. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/nv/agencies/049/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-science-foundation-in-nevada/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $147,012,517 or 214, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $147,012,517, 214 awards, agency 049, National Science Foundation, Nevada (NV), and the obligation unit.

Questions

What is the NSF obligation total for Nevada?

USAspending.gov records $147,012,517 in obligations for awarding agency 049 (National Science Foundation) with Nevada place of performance, covering 214 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 NSF Nevada mean a typical research grant?

The extract lists 214 award actions totaling $147,012,517. Average obligation per award is about $686,974.38, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical research-grant award. Unique campuses or principal investigators are not published here. Original filings remain on the source sites.

Does this cell split Reno from Las Vegas?

No. $147,012,517 and 214 awards are statewide Nevada place of performance. This packet does not split Las Vegas, Reno, and Carson City. Awards coded to California, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, or Arizona are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Las Vegas. The geography key remains NV.

Which page filters NSF (049) to Nevada?

National Science Foundation in Nevada is the overlay. Nevada 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.
