SMART STEM educational program in Virginia 11th District (VA-11)
USAspending.gov tags $365,130,157 to Science, Technology, Engineering And Mathematics (Stem) Educational Program: Science, Mathematics And Research For Transformation (Smart) inside Virginia 11th District (VA-11) — 1 award records, not outlays. One SMART STEM award equals about 0.3% of VA-11’s $135.82 billion district book — a single-row 12.631 file on a very large Virginia district denominator. That pair is Science, Technology, Engineering And Mathematics (Stem) Educational Program: Science, Mathematics And Research For Transformation (Smart) and Virginia 11th District (VA-11) — not Virginia’s entire federal inflow, not Science, Technology, Engineering And Mathematics (Stem) Educational Program: Science, Mathematics And Research For Transformation (Smart) nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 0.3% of this district’s published obligation total ($135,818,189,140.10). Implied average obligation is about $365,130,157 ($365,130,157 ÷ 1). Correlation is not causation.

SMART STEM dollars stamped to Virginia 11th District (VA-11)
CFDA 12.631 and congressional district VA-11 meet here. $365,130,157 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Science, Technology, Engineering And Mathematics (Stem) Educational Program: Science, Mathematics And Research For Transformation (Smart)’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Virginia 11th District (VA-11), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split degree levels or service components and does not name scholars. 1 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a scholar headcount, a campus roster, or a named-student file.
Dividing $365,130,157 by 1 yields about $365,130,157 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical scholarship or a posted per-student figure. 1 award against a $365.1 million SMART cell is a single-row file. That one record is not a named scholar. Campuses remain unpublished. Do not treat VA-11’s 12.631 cell as a synonym for every SMART STEM account nationwide. Open Virginia 11th District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 12.631 for CFDA 12.631 without the VA-11 filter, Virginia federal spending for every program in the Virginia extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $365,130,157.
What SMART STEM contributes on this pair
USAspending labels CFDA 12.631 as Science, Technology, Engineering And Mathematics (Stem) Educational Program: Science, Mathematics And Research For Transformation (Smart). That catalog number produced $365,130,157 when crossed with Virginia 11th District (VA-11) place of performance. The program-wide 12.631 hub does not require VA-11 geography. The district hub does not require SMART STEM. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 1 awards. The packet does not split degree levels or service components and does not name scholars.
Correlation is not causation: Virginia 11th District (VA-11) did not “cause” $365,130,157 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 12.631 × VA-11 only. It is not a scholar headcount, a campus roster, or a named-student 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.
VA-11 versus Virginia statewide totals
Virginia 11th District (VA-11) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list VA-11 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Virginia districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 12.631. Virginia 11th District (VA-11) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Virginia. Other Virginia districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 12.631. Virginia 11th District (VA-11) is the Virginia geography on this SMART join. Texas 25th hosts Research and Technology Development (CFDA 12.910), a different 12-series catalog.
Why this page is not an outlay register
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $365,130,157 is that kind of sum for Science, Technology, Engineering And Mathematics (Stem) Educational Program: Science, Mathematics And Research For Transformation (Smart) inside VA-11 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 CFDA rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $365,130,157 as given.
Virginia’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1-row SMART STEM cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 1 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 1 is not a count of scholars, campuses, or service years. 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 ($365,130,157) is a concentration statistic, not a typical scholarship or a posted per-student figure.
Live hubs versus this SMART STEM snapshot
Cite USAspending.gov: Science, Technology, Engineering And Mathematics (Stem) Educational Program: Science, Mathematics And Research For Transformation (Smart) (CFDA 12.631) obligated $365,130,157 on 1 awards coded to Virginia 11th District (VA-11). Name Science, Technology, Engineering And Mathematics (Stem) Educational Program: Science, Mathematics And Research For Transformation (Smart) and Virginia 11th District (VA-11) together. Keep the obligation word. If Virginia 11th District or CFDA 12.631 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a scholar headcount, a campus roster, or a named-student file. 0.3% of $135,818,189,140.10 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. CFDA 12.910 on Texas 25th is research-and-technology development, not SMART STEM. Do not merge those 12-series catalogs.
Keep Science, Technology, Engineering And Mathematics (Stem) Educational Program: Science, Mathematics And Research For Transformation (Smart), Virginia 11th District (VA-11), $365,130,157, and 1 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. CFDA 12.631 is the 12.631 parent without a VA-11 filter. Virginia federal spending is the Virginia parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with SMART STEM does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
What this 12.631 packet refuses to infer
1 award against a $365.1 million SMART cell is a single-row file. That one record is not a named scholar. Campuses remain unpublished. A large row count makes a project 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 $365,130,157) and the district share (0.3% of $135,818,189,140.10) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Virginia 11th District and CFDA 12.631 if the live tables moved.
Questions
- How much SMART STEM spending is coded to Virginia 11th District (VA-11)?
- USAspending.gov lists $365,130,157 in Science, Technology, Engineering And Mathematics (Stem) Educational Program: Science, Mathematics And Research For Transformation (Smart) obligations across 1 awards with place of performance in Virginia 11th District (VA-11). CFDA 12.631 × VA-11 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Virginia’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 0.3% of the district’s published total ($135,818,189,140.10). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $365,130,157, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $365,130,157 include every SMART STEM project in VA-11?
- The packet publishes one CFDA rollup. The packet does not split degree levels or service components and does not name scholars. $365,130,157 is the combined obligation sum for CFDA 12.631 inside VA-11 coding. This page will not invent a project pie or name contractors. Open CFDA 12.631 and Virginia 11th District to inspect parent tables. 1 remains an action count, not a count of scholars, campuses, or service years.
- Is $365,130,157 cash already paid in Virginia 11th District (VA-11)?
- 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 $365,130,157 as checks already cleared in Virginia 11th District (VA-11) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 1 awards. Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.
- What share of VA-11 obligations is CFDA 12.631?
- CFDA 12.631 accounts for 0.3% of $135,818,189,140.10 in district-wide obligations on this packet. That share is $365,130,157 ÷ $135,818,189,140.10. It is not a ranking of Virginia districts and not an outlay share. Other programs occupy the remaining district total on other ties.
