National Science Foundation federal obligations in New Mexico

Foundation 049 overlapping New Mexico

National Science Foundation as awarding agency, New Mexico as place-of-performance: 278 records summing to $253,758,522. A National Science Foundation award coded outside NM is out. An award in New Mexico from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah. A Las Cruces-coded award with a Texas place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

278 awards against $253,758,522 is a 278-award science-foundation file, thicker in records than many state-agency cells. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 278 as 278 unique named grants, unique principal investigators, or publication counts. National Science Foundation in New Mexico is the both-keys table. New Mexico federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Science Foundation is the agency book without an NM filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Named grants, unique principal investigators, and publication counts stay unpublished. Do not invent university or contractor names. Correlation is not causation: New Mexico did not cause $253,758,522 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 049 × NM only.

NSF is not a publication census

$253,758,522 does not measure named grants, unique principal investigators, or publication counts. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 049 and an NM place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 278 awards as a census of named grants, unique principal investigators, or publication counts. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If New Mexico federal spending or National Science Foundation matched $253,758,522 and 278, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state NSF joins are other pairs, not addends.

New Mexico, not a lab-campus folklore map

Place of performance NM is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. New Mexico (NM) excludes Texas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Arizona, and Utah. A Farmington-coded award with a Colorado place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $253,758,522 by city, county, or named facility. 278 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Two hundred seventy-eight obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $253,758,522 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in New Mexico confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

New Mexico’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 278 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 $253,758,522. Sharing a geography with National Science Foundation does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing NSF in New Mexico

Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $253,758,522 on 278 awards coded to New Mexico. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named grants, unique principal investigators, or publication counts.

Prefer National Science Foundation in New Mexico if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. New Mexico federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to NM. National Science Foundation is the 049 parent without the NM filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $253,758,522.

A usable footnote names National Science Foundation, New Mexico, $253,758,522, and 278. The compact headline $253.8M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $912,800.44 is $253,758,522 divided by 278. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.

Science dollars without a PI roster

New Mexico’s NSF overlay is 278 awards totaling $253,758,522. Named grants, unique principal investigators, and publication counts stay unpublished. Do not invent university or contractor names. Adding parent hubs into $253,758,522 would invent a combined New Mexico total. Keep 049 × NM as the pair. No fiscal year is published in this packet. Keep the obligation label on $253,758,522. Unique recipients stay unpublished.

Questions

How much has National Science Foundation obligated in New Mexico?

USAspending.gov records $253,758,522 across 278 awards with awarding agency 049 and a New Mexico tag. That is an obligation join, not an outlay and not New Mexico’s full federal book. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. The join is a catalog intersection, not a budget.

Does $253.8 million count New Mexico NSF grants by name?

No. $253,758,522 is an obligation sum on awarding-agency 049 × NM. It does not measure named grants, unique principal investigators, or publication counts. Those series are not fields on this aggregate. The join is a catalog intersection, not an outcome score. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Why does this New Mexico NSF file have 278 awards?

278 is an award-record count, including possible continuations and modifications. Dividing $253,758,522 by 278 yields about $912,800.44 as a mean, not a typical project and not a median. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent contractor names. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.

Where is the live table for National Science Foundation in New Mexico?

National Science Foundation in New Mexico is the overlay for both keys. New Mexico federal spending is the all-agency New Mexico hub. National Science Foundation is the agency parent. All spending ties indexes other spending ties. Prefer the overlay when both filters must stay on.
