National Science Foundation federal obligations in North Dakota

National Science Foundation crossed with North Dakota

$133,020,166 is not National Science Foundation's national book with a North Dakota footnote, and it is not North Dakota's all-agency book with an agency-049 footnote. It is the intersection only. Research-grant, campus-lab, and stem folklore stays outside the numeric fields.

Do not convert 102 into unique campuses or principal investigators. The field is awardCount. USAspending.gov award actions include new awards, modifications, and other recorded events. This page copies the count; it does not re-label it as people, campuses, or companies.

102 actions without a directorate pie

A typical research-grant award would need program and instrument fields. Those fields are absent. The honest caption is: 102 actions, $133,020,166 obligated, mean about $1,304,119.27, source USAspending.gov.

A mid-size award list is a description of 102, not a quality judgment. Large or small lists can both be accurate extracts of the same two keys.

Grand Forks is not a published geography split

National Science Foundation is National Science Foundation without a state filter. North Dakota federal spending is North Dakota without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide NSF book as if it were North Dakota's $133,020,166 cell is a misread of the join.

No metro split of Fargo, Grand Forks, and Bismarck is published here. Awards coded to Minnesota, Montana, or South Dakota are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Fargo. The overlay path already encodes both the state tag and agency 049.

Keep $133,020,166 labeled as obligations

$133,020,166 records commitments tagged to National Science Foundation and North Dakota. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

102 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 North Dakota for the live table. Agency 049 is the awarding-agency key stored on that overlay.

Campaign filings are a different dataset

The join is descriptive. $133,020,166 does not prove that North Dakota 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 North Dakota 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.

Index and overlay for NSF in North Dakota

National Science Foundation in North Dakota remains the place to verify the live rows. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $133,020,166. Place-of-performance North Dakota is statewide; it does not split Fargo, Grand Forks, and Bismarck. Neighbor-coded activity in Minnesota, Montana, or South Dakota stays out even if mail is handled in Fargo. 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. Prairie, bakken, and red-river 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. North Dakota's $133,020,166 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Science Foundation and call the difference 'North Dakota 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 North Dakota 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 $133,020,166. The 102 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 $1,304,119.27 is not a typical research-grant award. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/nd/agencies/049/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-science-foundation-in-north-dakota/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $133,020,166 or 102, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $133,020,166, 102 awards, agency 049, National Science Foundation, North Dakota (ND), and the obligation unit.

Questions

What is the NSF obligation total for North Dakota?

USAspending.gov records $133,020,166 in obligations for awarding agency 049 (National Science Foundation) with North Dakota place of performance, covering 102 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 North Dakota NSF extract name campuses?

The extract lists 102 award actions totaling $133,020,166. Average obligation per award is about $1,304,119.27, 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.

Are Minnesota or Montana NSF awards in this North Dakota cell?

No. $133,020,166 and 102 awards are statewide North Dakota place of performance. This packet does not split Fargo, Grand Forks, and Bismarck. Awards coded to Minnesota, Montana, or South Dakota are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Fargo. The geography key remains ND.

Which page filters NSF (049) to North Dakota?

National Science Foundation in North Dakota is the overlay. North Dakota 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.
