National Science Foundation federal obligations in Tennessee

Foundation 049 overlapping Tennessee

National Science Foundation as awarding agency, Tennessee as place-of-performance: 537 records summing to $356,247,604.50. A National Science Foundation award coded outside TN is out. An award in Tennessee from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Tennessee (TN) excludes Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri. A Knoxville-coded award with a North Carolina place-of-performance tag is a different cell.

537 awards against $356,247,604.50 is a 537-award research-agency file, close to Minnesota’s NSF join. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 537 as 537 unique named campuses, Oak Ridge folklore, or principal investigators. National Science Foundation in Tennessee is the both-keys table. Tennessee federal spending is the all-agency state hub. National Science Foundation is the agency book without an TN filter. All spending ties lists other joins.

Oak Ridge and university names are unpublished. Do not invent principal investigators. The code is 049. Correlation is not causation: Tennessee did not cause $356,247,604.50 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 049 × TN only.

Lab folklore is unpublished

$356,247,604.50 does not measure named campuses, Oak Ridge folklore, or principal investigators. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 049 and an TN place-of-performance tag.

Do not treat 537 awards as a census of named campuses, Oak Ridge folklore, or principal investigators. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Tennessee federal spending or National Science Foundation matched $356,247,604.50 and 537, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Neighboring-state NSF joins are other pairs, not addends.

Tennessee, not a three-metro map

Place of performance TN is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Tennessee (TN) excludes Kentucky, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Missouri. A Knoxville-coded award with a North Carolina place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.

This packet does not split $356,247,604.50 by city, county, or named facility. 537 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract. Campaign-finance filings do not fund these USAspending obligations.

Five hundred thirty-seven NSF obligations

Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $356,247,604.50 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Tennessee confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

Tennessee’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 537 awards USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $356,247,604.50. Sharing a geography with National Science Foundation does not mean FEC donations funded these awards.

Citing the National Science Foundation in Tennessee

Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $356,247,604.50 on 537 awards coded to Tennessee. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as named campuses, Oak Ridge folklore, or principal investigators.

Prefer National Science Foundation in Tennessee if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Tennessee federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to TN. National Science Foundation is the 049 parent without the TN filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $356,247,604.50.

A usable footnote names National Science Foundation, Tennessee, $356,247,604.50, and 537. The compact headline $356.2M is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $663,403.36 is $356,247,604.50 divided by 537. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
