NSF federal obligations in Texas 25th District (TX-25)

National Science Foundation and Texas 25th District (TX-25) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 049 and congressional district TX-25 meet here. $536,156,831 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 25th District (TX-25), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 270 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $536,156,831 by 270 yields about $1,985,766.04 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 270 awards is a mid-size NSF file. Row count similarity with other NSF pages is not a reason to merge geographies. Do not treat TX-25's 049 cell as a synonym for every NSF account nationwide. Open Texas 25th District for the district table without this agency filter, National Science Foundation for agency 049 without a TX-25 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 $536,156,831.

How USAspending labels National Science Foundation

USAspending labels awarding agency 049 as National Science Foundation. That code produced $536,156,831 when crossed with Texas 25th District (TX-25) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require TX-25 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 270 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Texas 25th District (TX-25) did not cause $536,156,831 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × TX-25 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.

Geography is TX-25, not a facility map

Texas 25th District (TX-25) 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-25 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Texas districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 049. Texas 25th District (TX-25) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Texas. Other Texas districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 049. Texas 25th District (TX-25) is not other Texas districts that carry Interior or Justice filters. Same state, different awarding-agency codes and different dollar totals.

Texas federal spending shows how agency 049 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $536,156,831 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Texas 25th District (TX-25) 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 $10,861,223,759.89; $536,156,831 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. $536,156,831 is that kind of sum for National Science Foundation inside TX-25 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 $536,156,831 as given.

Keeping both sides of the 049 × TX-25 pair

Cite USAspending.gov: National Science Foundation (agency 049) obligated $536,156,831 on 270 awards coded to Texas 25th District (TX-25). Name National Science Foundation and Texas 25th District (TX-25) together. Keep the obligation word. If Texas 25th 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. 4.9% of $10,861,223,759.89 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Share, mean, and what they are not

270 awards is a mid-size NSF file. Row count similarity with other NSF pages is not a reason to merge geographies. Other Texas districts can host Interior or Justice on their own ties. Agency 049 is National Science Foundation only. 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 $1,985,766.04) and the district share (4.9% of $10,861,223,759.89) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Texas 25th District and National Science Foundation if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Texas 25th District (TX-25) 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 $536,156,831 and 270 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 25th District (TX-25)?

USAspending.gov lists $536,156,831 in National Science Foundation obligations across 270 awards with place of performance in Texas 25th District (TX-25). Agency 049 × TX-25 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Texas's complete federal ledger. The cell is 4.9% of the district's published total ($10,861,223,759.89). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1,985,766.04, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $536,156,831 include every NSF program in TX-25?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. $536,156,831 is the combined obligation sum for agency 049 inside TX-25 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Science Foundation and Texas 25th District to inspect parent tables. 270 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $536,156,831 cash already paid in Texas 25th District (TX-25)?

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 $536,156,831 as checks already cleared in Texas 25th District (TX-25) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 270 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. $536,156,831 is the National Science Foundation amount inside Texas 25th District (TX-25) only, not the statewide NSF total. Adding Texas federal spending to $536,156,831 double-counts. Agency 049 nationwide lives on National Science Foundation. This join is 049 × TX-25.
