NSF obligations in Ohio 3rd District (OH-03)

The Ohio 3rd District (OH-03) filter on NSF

Awarding agency 049 and congressional district OH-03 meet here. $794,549,446.59 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 Ohio 3rd District (OH-03), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 189 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a university roster, a directorate pie, or a named-investigator file.

Dividing $794,549,446.59 by 189 yields about $4,203,965.33 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 189 awards is a moderate NSF file. The implied mean is not a posted research-grant size and not a university roster. Do not treat OH-03’s 049 cell as a synonym for every NSF account nationwide. Open Ohio 3rd District for the district table without this agency filter, National Science Foundation for agency 049 without a OH-03 filter, Ohio federal spending for every awarding agency in the Ohio extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $794,549,446.59.

The National Science Foundation awarding-agency rollup

USAspending labels awarding agency 049 as National Science Foundation. That code produced $794,549,446.59 when crossed with Ohio 3rd District (OH-03) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require OH-03 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 189 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Ohio 3rd District (OH-03) did not “cause” $794,549,446.59 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × OH-03 only. It is not a university roster, a directorate pie, or a named-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.

Reading the OH-03 stamp

Ohio 3rd District (OH-03) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list OH-03 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Ohio districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 049. Ohio 3rd District (OH-03) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Ohio. Other Ohio districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 049. Ohio 3rd District (OH-03) is not Ohio 12th District. Agency 049 is National Science Foundation, not EPA agency 068. Keep both the district code and the agency code in any citation.

Ohio federal spending shows how agency 049 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $794,549,446.59 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Ohio 3rd District (OH-03) 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 $9,261,752,814.37; $794,549,446.59 is the NSF slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $794,549,446.59 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside OH-03 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 $794,549,446.59 as given.

Ohio’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 189-row NSF cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 189 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 ($4,203,965.33) is a concentration statistic, not a typical OH-03 NSF payment.

Citing $794,549,446.59 without dropping a join side

Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $794,549,446.59 on 189 awards coded to Ohio 3rd District (OH-03). Name National Science Foundation and Ohio 3rd District (OH-03) together. Keep the obligation word. If Ohio 3rd District or National Science Foundation has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a university roster, a directorate pie, or a named-investigator file. 8.6% of $9,261,752,814.37 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Row count versus dollar concentration

189 awards is a moderate NSF file. The implied mean is not a posted research-grant size and not a university roster. 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 $4,203,965.33) and the district share (8.6% of $9,261,752,814.37) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Ohio 3rd District and National Science Foundation if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much NSF spending is coded to Ohio 3rd District (OH-03)?

USAspending.gov lists $794,549,446.59 in National Science Foundation obligations across 189 awards with place of performance in Ohio 3rd District (OH-03). Agency 049 × OH-03 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Ohio’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 8.6% of the district’s published total ($9,261,752,814.37). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $4,203,965.33, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $794,549,446.59 include every NSF program in OH-03?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. $794,549,446.59 is the combined obligation sum for agency 049 inside OH-03 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Science Foundation and Ohio 3rd District to inspect parent tables. 189 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $794,549,446.59 cash already paid in Ohio 3rd District (OH-03)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $794,549,446.59 as checks already cleared in Ohio 3rd District (OH-03) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 189 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $4,203,965.33 not a typical award?

The average is $794,549,446.59 divided by 189 awards, about $4,203,965.33. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
