National Science Foundation obligations in New York 16th District (NY-16)
Awarding agency 049 and New York 16th District (NY-16) meet at $84,384,091 in USAspending.gov obligations, spread across 8 awards. Eight NSF-coded awards equal about seven percent of NY-16’s district obligation total. That is a thin National Science Foundation file with a large implied mean, not a typical grant size. That pair is National Science Foundation and New York 16th District (NY-16) — not New York’s entire federal inflow, not National Science Foundation nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 6.7% of this district’s published obligation total ($1,262,677,429.99). Implied average obligation is about $10,548,011.38 ($84,384,091 ÷ 8). Correlation is not causation.

Reading agency 049 inside NY-16
Awarding agency 049 and congressional district NY-16 meet here. $84,384,091 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not National Science Foundation’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to New York 16th District (NY-16), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 8 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a grant-portfolio roster, a campus census, or a named-principal-investigator file.
This page reports National Science Foundation awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $84,384,091 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $1,262,677,429.99; the 6.7% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of New York districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays.
Agency 049 without inventing a component pie
USAspending labels awarding agency 049 as National Science Foundation. That code produced $84,384,091 when crossed with New York 16th District (NY-16) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require NY-16 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 8 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: New York 16th District (NY-16) did not “cause” $84,384,091 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × NY-16 only. It is not a grant-portfolio roster, a campus census, or a named-principal-investigator file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
How New York geography is coded on this join
New York 16th District (NY-16) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list NY-16 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other New York districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 049. New York 16th District (NY-16) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside New York. Other New York districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 049. New York 16th District (NY-16) is a numbered geography, distinct from NY-13 and NY-26. Same agency 049, far fewer rows, different dollar total.
New York federal spending shows how agency 049 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $84,384,091 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split New York 16th District (NY-16) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to National Science Foundation. The district-wide obligation total published here is $1,262,677,429.99; $84,384,091 is the NSF slice of that denominator.
What the dollar figure is allowed to mean
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $84,384,091 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside NY-16 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $84,384,091 as given.
New York’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 8-row NSF cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 8 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($10,548,011.38) is a concentration statistic, not a typical NY-16 NSF payment.
Parents of this tie: district, agency, state
Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $84,384,091 on 8 awards coded to New York 16th District (NY-16). Name National Science Foundation and New York 16th District (NY-16) together. Keep the obligation word. If New York 16th District or National Science Foundation has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a grant-portfolio roster, a campus census, or a named-principal-investigator file. 6.7% of $1,262,677,429.99 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep National Science Foundation, New York 16th District (NY-16), $84,384,091, and 8 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. National Science Foundation is the 049 parent without a NY-16 filter. New York federal spending is the New York parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with NSF does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
Limits of the NY-16 × 049 snapshot
Eight awards against an eighty-four-million-dollar NSF cell is a thin file. Do not read 8 as eight named campuses; the packet does not publish recipient identity. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $10,548,011.38) and the district share (6.7% of $1,262,677,429.99) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer New York 16th District and National Science Foundation if the live tables moved.
Do not rank New York 16th District (NY-16) as more NSF-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 049 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 049 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $84,384,091 and 8 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
Questions

- USAspending.gov lists $84,384,091 in National Science Foundation obligations across 8 awards with place of performance in New York 16th District (NY-16).
