NSF obligations in Texas 10th District (TX-10)

Reading agency 049 inside TX-10

Awarding agency 049 and congressional district TX-10 meet here. $879,871,460 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 10th District (TX-10), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 283 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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.

This page reports National Science Foundation awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $879,871,460 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $11,746,424,273.62; the 7.5% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Texas districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays.

Agency 049 without inventing a component pie

USAspending labels awarding agency 049 as National Science Foundation. That code produced $879,871,460 when crossed with Texas 10th District (TX-10) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require TX-10 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 283 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 10th District (TX-10) did not “cause” $879,871,460 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × TX-10 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.

How Texas 10th District is coded

Texas 10th District (TX-10) 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-10 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 049. Texas 10th District (TX-10) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 049. Texas 10th District (TX-10) is a numbered place-of-performance geography. Agency 049 is National Science Foundation, not Agriculture and not HUD.

Texas federal spending shows how agency 049 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $879,871,460 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Texas 10th District (TX-10) 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 $11,746,424,273.62; $879,871,460 is the NSF slice of that denominator.

What the dollar figure is allowed to mean

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $879,871,460 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside TX-10 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 $879,871,460 as given.

Texas’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 283-row NSF cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 283 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 ($3,109,086.43) is a concentration statistic, not a typical TX-10 NSF payment.

Parents of this tie: district, agency, state

Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $879,871,460 on 283 awards coded to Texas 10th District (TX-10). Name National Science Foundation and Texas 10th District (TX-10) together. Keep the obligation word. If Texas 10th 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. 7.5% of $11,746,424,273.62 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep National Science Foundation, Texas 10th District (TX-10), $879,871,460, and 283 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. National Science Foundation is the 049 parent without a TX-10 filter. Texas federal spending is the Texas 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.

Limits of the TX-10 × 049 snapshot

283 awards is a moderate NSF file. The implied mean is a ratio of two packet facts, 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 $3,109,086.43) and the district share (7.5% of $11,746,424,273.62) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 10th District and National Science Foundation if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Texas 10th District (TX-10) 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 $879,871,460 and 283 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 10th District (TX-10)?

USAspending.gov lists $879,871,460 in National Science Foundation obligations across 283 awards with place of performance in Texas 10th District (TX-10). Agency 049 × TX-10 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Texas’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 7.5% of the district’s published total ($11,746,424,273.62). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $3,109,086.43, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $879,871,460 include every NSF program in TX-10?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. $879,871,460 is the combined obligation sum for agency 049 inside TX-10 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Science Foundation and Texas 10th District to inspect parent tables. 283 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $879,871,460 cash already paid in Texas 10th District (TX-10)?

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 $879,871,460 as checks already cleared in Texas 10th District (TX-10) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 283 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Do FEC donations fund these NSF awards in TX-10?

No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing Texas geography does not mean donations funded $879,871,460 in Texas 10th District (TX-10). This page reports USAspending.gov awarding-agency 049 crossed with place of performance TX-10. It does not report campaign finance.
