Indiana 4th District

National Science Foundation and Indiana 4th District (IN-04) as a USAspending pair

Awarding agency 049 and congressional district IN-04 meet here. $326,921,521 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 Indiana 4th District (IN-04), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. 297 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a grant-portfolio roster, a campus census, or a named-principal-investigator file.

Dividing $326,921,521 by 297 yields about $1,100,745.86 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 297 awards is a moderate NSF action file. Volume can hide a few large assistance lines; the packet does not identify them or name principal investigators. Do not treat IN-04’s 049 cell as a synonym for every NSF account nationwide. Open Indiana 4th District for the district table without this agency filter, National Science Foundation for agency 049 without the IN-04 filter, Indiana federal spending for every awarding agency in the Indiana extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $326,921,521.

How USAspending labels National Science Foundation

USAspending labels awarding agency 049 as National Science Foundation. That code produced $326,921,521 when crossed with Indiana 4th District (IN-04) place of performance. The agency-wide 049 hub does not require IN-04 geography. The district hub does not require NSF. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 297 awards. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Indiana 4th District (IN-04) did not “cause” $326,921,521 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 049 × IN-04 only. It is not a grant-portfolio roster, a campus census, 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.

Questions

How much NSF spending is coded to Indiana 4th District (IN-04)?

USAspending.gov lists $326,921,521 in National Science Foundation obligations across 297 awards with place of performance in Indiana 4th District (IN-04). Agency 049 × IN-04 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Indiana’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 5.4% of the district’s published total ($6,080,306,234.62). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1,100,745.86, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $326,921,521 include every NSF program in IN-04?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split NSF directorates or contract versus assistance instruments. $326,921,521 is the combined obligation sum for agency 049 inside IN-04 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open National Science Foundation and Indiana 4th District to inspect parent tables. 297 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $326,921,521 cash already paid in Indiana 4th District (IN-04)?

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 $326,921,521 as checks already cleared in Indiana 4th District (IN-04) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 297 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

How does this NSF cell relate to Indiana statewide spending?

Indiana federal spending is the Indiana statewide extract across awarding agencies. $326,921,521 is the National Science Foundation amount inside Indiana 4th District (IN-04) only, not the statewide NSF total. Adding Indiana federal spending to $326,921,521 double-counts. Agency 049 nationwide lives on National Science Foundation. This join is 049 × IN-04.
