Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities federal obligations in FY2026

The FY2026 filter on Social Sciences & Humanities R&D

NAICS 541720 and fiscal year 2026 meet here. $75,674,243.36 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities's nationwide all-year total of $27,413,367,468.24, not every federal dollar coded to FY2026, and not an outlay register. The packet does not split social sciences from humanities, or contract from assistance. 2,415 is an industry-extract action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows across years. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a lab census, a named-PI roster, or a publication log.

Open /industries/541720/ (NAICS 541720) for the industry table without this FY2026 filter, /fiscal-years/2026/ (FY2026 federal spending) for the year table without this NAICS filter, /industries/ (All industries) for every industry, and /ties/ (All spending ties) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $75,674,243.36. Social-sciences-and-humanities R&D (541720) is not physical/life-science R&D except biotechnology (541712).

The research and development in the social sciences and humanities rollup versus one fiscal year

USAspending labels NAICS 541720 as Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities. That code produced $75,674,243.36 when crossed with fiscal year 2026. The industry-wide 541720 hub does not require a FY2026 filter. The year hub does not require Social Sciences & Humanities R&D. Only this tie applies both filters. The packet does not split social sciences from humanities, or contract from assistance. Do not forecast the rest of FY2026 from this snapshot. Social sciences and humanities stay inside one NAICS.

Correlation is not causation: FY2026 did not cause $75,674,243.36 by existing as a large or small budget year. The join is 541720 × FY2026 only. This cell is not a lab census, a named-PI roster, or a publication log. 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. 2,415 is the 541720 extract award-record count across years, not a FY2026 lab census.

Reading the moderate Social Sciences & Humanities R&D parent file

2,415 is the Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities award-record count published with the industry extract, not a count of FY2026 instruments. Dividing $75,674,243.36 by 2,415 would mix a one-year dollar total with a multi-year row count, so this page does not publish that ratio as a typical invoice. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications and multi-year vehicles can add lines without adding vendors. 2,415 is the 541720 extract award-record count across years, not a FY2026 lab census. FY2026 figures can be incomplete for the current year, so even the dollar cell may still move.

A moderate parent file makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A thin parent file makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. 0.3% of $27,413,367,468.24 is the year share on this packet, not a performance score.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $75,674,243.36 is that kind of sum for Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities in FY2026. 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 NAICS rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $75,674,243.36 as given.

Treat 2,415 as award records on the industry extract, not unique vendors and not a FY2026 headcount. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. FEC contribution tables do not fund these awards. Named PIs and publication counts are unpublished. Quote 541720 and FY2026 together.

Citing $75,674,243.36 without dropping a join side

Cite USAspending.gov: Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities (NAICS 541720) obligated $75,674,243.36 in FY2026. Name Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities and FY2026 together. Keep the obligation word. If /industries/541720/ or /fiscal-years/2026/ has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a lab census, a named-PI roster, or a publication log. 0.3% of $27,413,367,468.24 is the industry share on this packet, not a budget score. /industries/ lists other industries; /ties/ indexes other pairs.

What this packet refuses to infer

2,415 is the 541720 extract award-record count across years, not a FY2026 lab census. Social-sciences-and-humanities R&D (541720) is not physical/life-science R&D except biotechnology (541712). A reader who quotes 2,415 as unique companies in FY2026 has left the packet. A reader who treats 0.3% as a hardship or success ranking has added a score the table does not carry. Prefer /industries/541720/ and /fiscal-years/2026/ if the live tables moved. Named PIs and publication counts are unpublished. Quote 541720 and FY2026 together.

Questions

How much Social Sciences & Humanities R&D spending is obligated in FY2026?

USAspending.gov lists $75,674,243.36 in Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities (NAICS 541720) obligations for FY2026. That yearlyTrend amount is 0.3% of the industry's $27,413,367,468.24 extract-wide total. It is an obligation join, not an outlay and not every federal dollar in FY2026. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Is $75,674,243.36 the entire Social Sciences & Humanities R&D USAspending total?

No. NAICS 541720's extract-wide total is $27,413,367,468.24. FY2026 is 0.3% of that book. Other fiscal-year rows for the same industry are separate cells. Do not add /industries/541720/ into this join. 2,415 award records stay on the industry extract, not on this yearlyTrend row.

Is $75,674,243.36 cash already paid in FY2026?

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 $75,674,243.36 as checks already cleared in FY2026 confuses those terms. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.

Why not divide $75,674,243.36 by 2,415 awards?

Because 2,415 is the industry-extract award-record count across years, not a FY2026-only census. Mixing that denominator with a one-year dollar total invents a typical invoice the packet does not publish. Recipients remain unpublished. USAspending.gov remains the source for NAICS 541720 in FY2026.
