Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences R&D (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) in Maryland 4th District (MD-04)

$1,937,303,701.20 in USAspending.gov obligations pairs NAICS 541715 (Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology)) with Maryland 4th District (MD-04) across 177 awards. The join is NAICS 541715 crossed with an MD-04 location field, not Maryland's entire research book and not a named-campus inventory. The dollars are commitments, not Treasury outlays. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one.

Key figures

  • Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) (NAICS 541715) × MD-04: $1,937,303,701.20 across 177 awards.
  • About 6.4% of the MD-04 district parent $30,227,601,567.39 by arithmetic.
  • 177 awards are a row count, not a laboratory or vendor census.
  • Obligations are not outlays; no fiscal year is in the packet.
  • FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell; source is USAspending.gov.

NAICS 541715 × MD-04 is a Prince George's R&D join, not a PI roster

This page is a join: Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) (NAICS 541715) as the industry key, and Maryland 4th District (MD-04) as congressional district place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations to $1,937,303,701.20 on 177 awards. The join is NAICS 541715 crossed with an MD-04 location field, not Maryland's entire research book and not a named-campus inventory. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which district received more, and not a claim that 177 awards equal 177 laboratories or 177 unique primes.

The MD-05 541715 join, the MD-06 biotechnology R&D cell (541711), and the FL-10 541715 join sit outside this total unless they also carry NAICS 541715 and MD-04. Mixing those books into $1,937,303,701.20 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and local research employment is not causation. Campus names and investigator counts are not in the packet. Place of performance as MD-04 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $1,937,303,701.20 in a district treasury. College Park-versus-Greenbelt folklore is not a geography split in this packet.

177 awards behind $1.94 billion

Mean obligation is about $10,945,218.65 if $1,937,303,701.20 were divided evenly across 177 lines. That ratio is not a published grant size and not a typical research invoice. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of labs, campuses, or unique vendors. One hundred seventy-seven awards against a $1.94 billion cell is a thicker R&D file than MD-06's forty-one-award biotechnology join.

Research modifications can multiply rows without multiplying unique campuses. This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Maryland 4th District for the stored district table. Do not convert 177 into a map of Maryland 4th District laboratories. The $1,937,303,701.20 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on the overlay rather than inferring an investigator census.

Maryland 4th District, not a statewide science rollup

Maryland 4th District (MD-04) is one geography tag on USAspending awards, not a commuting zone and not a metro list. Awards tagged to MD-05, MD-03, or another Maryland district are out even if the research campus sounds related. Recipient address can differ from that district tag. The district parent in this extract is $30,227,601,567.39 across every industry; $1,937,303,701.20 is the Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) slice — about 6.4% of that parent by arithmetic. Subtracting is tempting; this page still does not publish the leftover NAICS list.

A statewide except-nano/bio R&D figure on Maryland federal spending is a different shelf. Do not rank MD-04 against neighboring districts as a winner or loser. Other Maryland district cells are other joins. Maryland federal spending is the statewide book without a district filter. Adding statewide Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) dollars to $1,937,303,701.20 would double count. Campaign-finance filings are a different public-record system; this join does not claim donations funded these obligations.

NAICS 541715 obligations are not papers already accepted

Except-nanotechnology-and-biotechnology R&D awards often obligate as multi-year research vehicles. The $1,937,303,701.20 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of studies already published and not a Treasury outlay total. A federal science dashboard dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses NAICS 541715, MD-04 geography, and the obligation metric.

NAICS 541715 is the nationwide industry book without a MD-04 filter. This extract does not split physical from engineering from life sciences, and it does not merge MD-05's 541715 dollars into this MD-04 cell. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 177 awards, NAICS 541715, and Maryland 4th District. This page will not invent a share. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

What the MD-04 except-nano/bio R&D table omits

The extract has no campus names, primes, or investigator counts. Facts remain $1,937,303,701.20, 177 awards, NAICS 541715, Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology), Maryland 4th District (MD-04), and district parent $30,227,601,567.39. Prince George's research folklore belongs on another extract if it appears at all. Keep the obligation label. Later ingests can revise both the dollars and the 177-award count; prefer the live table when the overlay and this snapshot diverge.

Where the 541715 × MD-04 pair lives

Start with Maryland 4th District for the district rollup that contains this Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) cell. NAICS 541715 is the nationwide NAICS 541715 listing. Maryland federal spending gives Maryland context without a MD-04 filter. All spending ties indexes other two-key joins on the same obligation metric. One hundred seventy-seven awards totaling this cell remain an administrative file, not a campus roster. Keep both Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) and Maryland 4th District (MD-04) in every citation sentence. Do not recast $1,937,303,701.20 as cash already paid or as Maryland's entire research appropriation. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join. FEC contribution tables do not fund this cell.

Questions

How much except-nano/bio R&D is obligated in Maryland 4th District?
USAspending.gov shows $1,937,303,701.20 in Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (Except Nanotechnology And Biotechnology) (NAICS 541715) obligations with Maryland 4th District (MD-04) as place of performance, across 177 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district's full $30,227,601,567.39 parent. Other NAICS codes sit outside this join unless they also carry 541715.
Do 177 awards mean 177 research labs in MD-04?
No. Award count is a row count of NAICS 541715 actions tagged to MD-04. It is not a lab or vendor census. Unique recipients are unpublished. Mean obligation of about $10,945,218.65 is a quotient of $1,937,303,701.20 and 177.
Does the MD-04 541715 cell include MD-05 R&D dollars?
No. MD-05 is a different place-of-performance join on the same NAICS. $1,937,303,701.20 is about 6.4% of the Maryland 4th District parent $30,227,601,567.39 by arithmetic. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.
Is the MD-04 except-nano/bio R&D total already paid as outlays?
Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $1,937,303,701.20 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Invoice draws and remaining balances are not published here. Cite USAspending.gov as the source.
