Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences in FY2024 (NAICS 541710)
USAspending.gov records $213,702,478,252.30 in Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (NAICS 541710) obligations for fiscal year 2024. That FY2024 slice is about 99.1% of the industry’s published $215,662,692,354.48 obligation total across the extract — nearly the whole book in one year on this coding. The pair is that R&D industry and FY2024 — not a lab roster, not a named-principal-investigator file, and not cash already paid. The industry parent lists 633 awards across the published extract; that count is not a FY2024-only row total. Correlation is not causation.
Key figures
- Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences R&D in FY2024: $213,702,478,252.30 (NAICS 541710).
- About 99.1% of the industry’s $215,662,692,354.48 extract total.
- 633 is the industry-wide award count, not a FY2024 row total.
- The join is NAICS 541710 × FY2024, not a lab roster. Do not mix 541715 or 541712.
- Figures are USAspending obligations, not outlays.
NAICS 541710 × FY2024 is a concentrated R&D join
This page is a join: Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences and fiscal year 2024. $213,702,478,252.30 is the obligation sum USAspending.gov attributes to NAICS 541710 in that fiscal year on the yearlyTrend series. It is not every federal dollar in FY2024, not every R&D NAICS in the extract, and not an outlay register. NAICS 541710 is the industry parent. FY2024 federal spending is the year parent. Correlation is not causation.
The industry extract totals $215,662,692,354.48. FY2024’s $213,702,478,252.30 is the year slice of that book, about 99.1%. Remaining industry dollars sit in other fiscal years on the same NAICS, not inside this join. 633 is the industry-wide award count in this extract, not a FY2024 action count. A 633-row industry book against more than $215 billion is a thick-dollar, thin-file coding. Do not divide $213,702,478,252.30 by 633 and call the result a typical FY2024 research contract. Unique recipients are unpublished. This page will not invent contractors or laboratories. FEC contribution tables do not fund these USAspending obligations.
NAICS 541710 is not 541715 or 541712
USAspending labels industry 541710 as Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences. That code produced $213,702,478,252.30 when filtered to FY2024. Neighboring R&D codes with except-nanotechnology or except-biotechnology language are different NAICS keys. Mixing those books into $213,702,478,252.30 would leave this join. The packet does not split physical from engineering from life sciences, and it does not name labs.
SpendingVault does not grade this R&D industry on publication counts or policy. $213,702,478,252.30 is an obligation sum, not a verdict. Open NAICS 541710 for the industry rollup without the year filter, FY2024 federal spending for the year rollup without the industry filter, All industries for the NAICS index, and All spending ties for other pairs.
FY2024 on a nearly complete industry book
Fiscal year 2024 on this join is a USAspending yearlyTrend bucket. A 99.1% share means most of the published NAICS 541710 extract sits in FY2024 on this snapshot; it does not mean research finished in calendar 2024. Awards can list FY2024 while performance stretches across adjacent years. FY figures can be incomplete; this snapshot reports $213,702,478,252.30 as given.
FY2024 federal spending shows how this R&D industry sits beside other industries in the same year extract. $213,702,478,252.30 is one industry-year column, not the year table. The 99.1% industry share describes this join, not a ranking of research fields as winners or losers.
633 is the industry parent count
633 awards describe the NAICS 541710 extract, not the FY2024 slice alone. Mixing that count with $213,702,478,252.30 invents a per-award FY figure the packet does not publish. Treat 633 as the industry parent’s action count. This cell is not a lab roster, a trial-enrollment file, or a named-principal-investigator file.
Obligations versus research already performed
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment from the Treasury. $213,702,478,252.30 is the commitment figure for this R&D industry in FY2024. This packet has no outlay total, so none is invented. Citing the figure as cash already spent on experiments over-reads the field. Keep both sides: Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (NAICS 541710) and FY2024.
Agency R&D budget justifications answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes university sponsored-research reports with NAICS 541710 in FY2024, the chart has left the federal award series.
How to cite the 541710 × FY2024 pair
Cite: Research And Development In The Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences (NAICS 541710) obligated $213,702,478,252.30 in FY2024, per USAspending.gov yearlyTrend. Keep both keys. Keep the word obligations. Prefer NAICS 541710 and FY2024 federal spending when live tables move. None of those links convert this cell into a lab census, into a FY2024 award census this packet omits, or into a contractor list. Later bulk files can move both the FY2024 dollars and the industry $215,662,692,354.48 parent; quote the live hubs when the overlay and this snapshot diverge. Do not rank NAICS 541710 as a winner or loser versus other R&D codes on the 99.1% share alone.
Questions
- How much Physical, Engineering, And Life Sciences R&D spending is in FY2024?
- USAspending.gov records $213,702,478,252.30 in NAICS 541710 obligations for fiscal year 2024. That is an industry × year join, not an outlay and not all of FY2024 federal spending. The slice is about 99.1% of the industry’s $215,662,692,354.48 extract total.
- Does 633 awards mean 633 labs in FY2024?
- No. 633 is the industry-wide award-action count in this extract, not a FY2024-only row total and not a lab count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not divide the FY2024 dollars by that count.
- Is $213,702,478,252.30 cash already paid?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. FY figures can be incomplete. Prefer the live industry and year hubs if the tables moved.
- Where are the live NAICS 541710 and FY2024 tables?
- NAICS 541710 is the industry parent. FY2024 federal spending is the year parent. All industries is the NAICS index. All spending ties lists other pairs. This page quotes 541710 × FY2024 at $213,702,478,252.30.
