National Science Foundation federal obligations in New Jersey

Foundation 049 meeting New Jersey

National Science Foundation as awarding agency, New Jersey as place-of-performance: 902 records summing to $626,040,588.71. A National Science Foundation award coded outside NJ is out. An award in New Jersey from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Jersey (NJ) excludes New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. A Princeton-coded award with a Pennsylvania place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

902 awards against $626,040,588.71 is a 902-award research file, not a campus directory. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 902 as 902 unique completed studies, named laboratories, or unique principal investigators. National Science Foundation in New Jersey is the both-keys table. New Jersey federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Science Foundation is the agency book without an NJ filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Campus names belong on the overlay if they appear as recipients; they are not extra packet dollars. Do not invent a named university as the whole cell. Unique PIs stay unpublished. Correlation is not causation: New Jersey did not cause $626,040,588.71 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 049 × NJ only.

Research folklore is not a packet field

$626,040,588.71 does not measure completed studies, named laboratories, or unique principal investigators. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 049 and an NJ place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 902 awards as a census of completed studies, named laboratories, or unique principal investigators. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Jersey federal spending or National Science Foundation matched $626,040,588.71 and 902, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state NSF joins are other pairs, not addends.

New Jersey, not a Princeton-Rutgers map

Place of performance NJ is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New Jersey (NJ) excludes New York, Pennsylvania, and Delaware. A Princeton-coded award with a Pennsylvania place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $626,040,588.71 by city, county, or named facility. 902 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Nine hundred two obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $626,040,588.71 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New Jersey confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

New Jersey’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 902 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 $626,040,588.71. Sharing a geography with National Science Foundation does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing NSF in New Jersey

Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $626,040,588.71 on 902 awards coded to New Jersey. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as completed studies, named laboratories, or unique principal investigators.

Prefer National Science Foundation in New Jersey if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New Jersey federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NJ. National Science Foundation is the 049 parent without the NJ filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $626,040,588.71.

A usable footnote names National Science Foundation, New Jersey, $626,040,588.71, and 902. The compact headline $626.0M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $694,058.30 is $626,040,588.71 divided by 902. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
