NSF dollars tagged to Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03)

This page is a join: National Science Foundation and Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03). $263,792,255.74 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Pennsylvania's statewide National Science Foundation book, not the nationwide National Science Foundation total, and not cash already paid. Pennsylvania 3rd District is the district parent. National Science Foundation is the agency parent. Correlation is not causation.

191 is an award-action count. Modifications and delivery orders can add rows. Unique vendors are unpublished. Dividing $263,792,255.74 by 191 yields about $1,381,111.29 per award, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical invoice. Campaign-finance tables do not fund these obligations. 191 awards is a mid-size action file. Treat the count as records in an aggregate, not as {n} finished projects.

Department-level NSF identity: agency 049

Awarding agency 049 is National Science Foundation. The field does not name directorates or investigators. One hundred ninety-one is an action count, not a unique-recipient census. Confusing this join with Pennsylvania statewide NSF totals or the Pennsylvania 12th NSF overlay would be a different overlay. Packet facts on the agency side are the name National Science Foundation, code 049, and the join dollars $263,792,255.74. Any other recipient or installation list would be invented.

National Science Foundation drops the district filter. Other districts with National Science Foundation awards are other ties. This page quotes only Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03). Do not rank PA-03 against PA-12 as more research-intensive. The two NSF district pages are separate geography filters on the same agency code. FEC filings do not fund these obligations.

One hundred ninety-one awards inside the district book

191 awards against $263,792,255.74 implies about $1,381,111.29 per award. That mean is not a unit price and not a jobs figure. With 191 rows, a few large instruments can dominate.

Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished.

What agency 049 × PA-03 is not

An obligation is a legal commitment. $263,792,255.74 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside PA-03 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. This packet has no outlay total and no fiscal-year split. Citing the figure as cash already spent in Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03) over-reads the field. Do not rank Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03) as a winner or loser versus other districts. Keep both sides in the citation: National Science Foundation and Pennsylvania 3rd District (PA-03).
