NSF federal obligations in Oregon 4th District (OR-04)

NSF obligations coded to Oregon 4th District (OR-04)

Awarding agency 049 and congressional district OR-04 meet here. $644,029,119 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 Oregon 4th District (OR-04), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 238 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a campus roster, a grant-title catalog, or a named-principal-investigator file.

Dividing $644,029,119 by 238 yields about $2,706,004.70 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 238 awards is a mid-size NSF file. The implied mean sits above a small-grant average and is still not a typical research award. Do not treat OR-04's 049 cell as a synonym for every NSF account nationwide. Open Oregon 4th District for the district table without this agency filter, National Science Foundation for agency 049 without a OR-04 filter, Oregon federal spending for every awarding agency in the Oregon extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $644,029,119.

What NSF contributes to this pair

USAspending labels awarding agency 049 as National Science Foundation. That code produced $644,029,119 when crossed with Oregon 4th District (OR-04) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require OR-04 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 238 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Oregon 4th District (OR-04) did not cause $644,029,119 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × OR-04 only. This cell is not a campus roster, a grant-title catalog, 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.

District geography versus Oregon statewide totals

Oregon 4th District (OR-04) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list OR-04 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Oregon districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 049. Oregon 4th District (OR-04) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Oregon. Other Oregon districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 049. Oregon 4th District (OR-04) is distinct from other Oregon districts that carry Interior or Commerce filters on their own ties. Same state, different awarding-agency codes.

Oregon federal spending shows how agency 049 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $644,029,119 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Oregon 4th District (OR-04) 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 $10,503,256,914.16; $644,029,119 is the NSF slice of that denominator.

Why this is not an outlay register

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $644,029,119 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside OR-04 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 $644,029,119 as given.

Oregon's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 238-row NSF cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 238 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 ($2,706,004.70) is a concentration statistic, not a typical OR-04 NSF payment.

Live tables versus this snapshot

Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $644,029,119 on 238 awards coded to Oregon 4th District (OR-04). Name National Science Foundation and Oregon 4th District (OR-04) together. Keep the obligation word. If Oregon 4th District or National Science Foundation has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a campus roster, a grant-title catalog, or a named-principal-investigator file. 6.1% of $10,503,256,914.16 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep National Science Foundation, Oregon 4th District (OR-04), $644,029,119, and 238 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. National Science Foundation is the 049 parent without a OR-04 filter. Oregon federal spending is the Oregon 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.

What this packet refuses to infer

238 awards is a mid-size NSF file. The implied mean sits above a small-grant average and is still not a typical research award. Other NSF × district pages are separate cells. Do not fold those geographies into OR-04. 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 $2,706,004.70) and the district share (6.1% of $10,503,256,914.16) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Oregon 4th District and National Science Foundation if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Oregon 4th District (OR-04) 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 $644,029,119 and 238 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much NSF spending is coded to Oregon 4th District (OR-04)?

USAspending.gov lists $644,029,119 in National Science Foundation obligations across 238 awards with place of performance in Oregon 4th District (OR-04). Agency 049 × OR-04 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Oregon's complete federal ledger. The cell is 6.1% of the district's published total ($10,503,256,914.16). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $2,706,004.70, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $644,029,119 include every NSF program in OR-04?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. $644,029,119 is the combined obligation sum for agency 049 inside OR-04 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Science Foundation and Oregon 4th District to inspect parent tables. 238 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $644,029,119 cash already paid in Oregon 4th District (OR-04)?

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 $644,029,119 as checks already cleared in Oregon 4th District (OR-04) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 238 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

What share of OR-04 obligations is agency 049?

Agency 049 accounts for 6.1% of $10,503,256,914.16 in district-wide obligations on this packet. That share is $644,029,119 ÷ $10,503,256,914.16. It is not a ranking of Oregon districts and not an outlay share. Other awarding agencies occupy the remaining district total on other ties.
