National Science Foundation federal obligations in West Virginia

National Science Foundation plus West Virginia

Read $149,217,527 as a two-key extract: National Science Foundation (agency 049) and West Virginia. Correlation is not causation. A large cell does not prove West Virginia received too much or too little, and a small cell does not prove the reverse.

149 recorded actions accompany the dollar. That mid-size count is not a census of unique campuses or principal investigators. Repeat the pair — agency 049 and West Virginia — whenever the dollar is reused.

149 rows without a research-directorate pie

Behind $149,217,527 the extract counts 149 actions. Average obligation per award is about $1,001,459.91, a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical research-grant award.

A research-grant, campus-lab, and STEM story can be researched elsewhere. Here those words are unlabeled because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column.

Statewide West Virginia, not a campus map

National Science Foundation is National Science Foundation without a state filter. West Virginia federal spending is West Virginia without an agency filter. This slug is the intersection. Citing the nationwide NSF book as if it were West Virginia's $149,217,527 cell is a misread of the join.

No metro split of Morgantown, Charleston, and Huntington is published here. Awards coded to Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, or Maryland are outside this cell even if mail is handled in Charleston. The overlay path already encodes both the state tag and agency 049.

Commitments tagged to agency 049

$149,217,527 records commitments tagged to National Science Foundation and West Virginia. Payments, recoveries, and cancellations would live in other fields. This extract does not publish those fields.

149 actions can include modifications that change a prior obligation. That is why a record count is not a unique-project census. Use National Science Foundation in West Virginia for the live table. Agency 049 is the awarding-agency key stored on that overlay.

Correlation is not a research ranking

The join is descriptive. $149,217,527 does not prove that West Virginia received too much or too little National Science Foundation money, and it does not prove that National Science Foundation activity caused local outcomes. No performance metric is in the packet.

Campaign-finance filings do not fund this USAspending cell. National Science Foundation obligations in West Virginia and FEC receipts that mention similar words are separate public records. This page does not merge them. Unique campuses or principal investigators are unpublished here, so none are invented.

Overlay and hubs for NSF in West Virginia

National Science Foundation in West Virginia remains the place to verify the live rows. All spending ties is an index of joins, not a hidden total that already includes $149,217,527. Place-of-performance West Virginia is statewide; it does not split Morgantown, Charleston, and Huntington. Neighbor-coded activity in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Kentucky, Virginia, or Maryland stays out even if mail is handled in Charleston. Correlation is not causation. Research-grant, campus-lab, and stem folklore can be a legitimate research question on another page. Here it is labeled folklore because the packet has no NAICS, CFDA, or program column. Appalachian, ohio-river, and mountain folklore is the same kind of reader path: useful for search, unused as math. Agency 049 on a different state's overlay is a sibling join, not a remainder that must add to a national NSF budget on this page. West Virginia's $149,217,527 cell stands alone. Do not subtract it from National Science Foundation and call the difference 'West Virginia versus everywhere else' without a published national total in this packet — there is none. National Science Foundation is the awarding-agency label stored on the West Virginia overlay; the numeric key is 049. Readers who only remember the short name NSF still need both the state tag and the agency tag before quoting $149,217,527. The 149 figure is not a count of unique campuses or principal investigators and is not a count of distinct NSF programs. Modifications can add rows without adding new vendors. That is another reason the mean of about $1,001,459.91 is not a typical research-grant award. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov. This file copies overlayTarget /states/wv/agencies/049/ and canonicalPath /ties/national-science-foundation-in-west-virginia/ from the packet. It does not add a fiscal year, a contractor, or an FEC dollar. If the live overlay later disagrees with $149,217,527 or 149, trust the table and treat this prose as dated to the extract. Until then, the reusable facts are $149,217,527, 149 awards, agency 049, National Science Foundation, West Virginia (WV), and the obligation unit.
