National Science Foundation obligations in Texas 7th District (TX-07)

National Science Foundation and Texas 7th District (TX-07) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 049 and congressional district TX-07 meet here. $164,358,610 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 Texas 7th District (TX-07), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 124 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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.

Dividing $164,358,610 by 124 yields about $1,325,472.66 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 124 awards is a compact NSF file. Agency 049 is National Science Foundation. Do not read the row count as a campus census. Do not treat TX-07’s 049 cell as a synonym for every NSF account nationwide. Open Texas 7th District for the district table without this agency filter, National Science Foundation for agency 049 without the TX-07 filter, Texas federal spending for every awarding agency in the Texas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $164,358,610.

How USAspending labels National Science Foundation

USAspending labels awarding agency 049 as National Science Foundation. That code produced $164,358,610 when crossed with Texas 7th District (TX-07) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require TX-07 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 124 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 7th District (TX-07) did not “cause” $164,358,610 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × TX-07 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.

Geography is TX-07, not a facility map

Texas 7th District (TX-07) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list TX-07 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 049. Texas 7th District (TX-07) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 049. Texas 7th District (TX-07) is a numbered place-of-performance geography, distinct from Texas 24th and Texas 33rd Justice cells. Do not fold those Texas joins into this NSF total.

Texas federal spending shows how agency 049 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $164,358,610 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Texas 7th District (TX-07) 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 $3,405,943,883.86; $164,358,610 is the NSF slice of that denominator.

Commitment totals versus cash paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $164,358,610 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside TX-07 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 $164,358,610 as given.

Keeping both sides of the 049 × TX-07 pair

Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $164,358,610 on 124 awards coded to Texas 7th District (TX-07). Name National Science Foundation and Texas 7th District (TX-07) together. Keep the obligation word. If Texas 7th 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. 4.8% of $3,405,943,883.86 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Share, mean, and what they are not

124 awards is a compact NSF file. Agency 049 is National Science Foundation. Do not read the row count as a campus census. 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 $1,325,472.66) and the district share (4.8% of $3,405,943,883.86) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 7th District and National Science Foundation if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Texas 7th District (TX-07) 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 $164,358,610 and 124 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 Texas 7th District (TX-07)?

USAspending.gov lists $164,358,610 in National Science Foundation obligations across 124 awards with place of performance in Texas 7th District (TX-07). Agency 049 × TX-07 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Texas’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 4.8% of the district’s published total ($3,405,943,883.86). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1,325,472.66, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $164,358,610 include every NSF program in TX-07?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. $164,358,610 is the combined obligation sum for agency 049 inside TX-07 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Science Foundation and Texas 7th District to inspect parent tables. 124 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $164,358,610 cash already paid in Texas 7th District (TX-07)?

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 $164,358,610 as checks already cleared in Texas 7th District (TX-07) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 124 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

How does this NSF cell relate to Texas statewide spending?

Texas federal spending is the Texas statewide extract across awarding agencies. $164,358,610 is the National Science Foundation amount inside Texas 7th District (TX-07) only, not the statewide NSF total. Adding Texas federal spending to $164,358,610 double-counts. Agency 049 nationwide lives on National Science Foundation. This join is 049 × TX-07.
