The Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) filter on Social Science R&D

NAICS 541720 and congressional district MD-02 meet here. $1,106,112,074.60 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Maryland 2nd District (MD-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split economics, sociology, history, or other humanities lines, and it does not split contract versus assistance. 79 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a citation index, a named-PI roster, or a university ranking.

Dividing $1,106,112,074.60 by 79 yields about $14,001,418.67 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical grant, evaluation contract, or survey award. Seventy-nine awards is a modest award file. Do not treat MD-02's 541720 cell as a synonym for every Social Science R&D account nationwide. Open Maryland 2nd District (/districts/MD-02/) for the district table without this industry filter, NAICS 541720 (/industries/541720/) for NAICS 541720 without the MD-02 filter, Maryland federal spending (/states/md/) for every industry in the Maryland extract, and All spending ties (/ties/) for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,106,112,074.60.

Publication counts, campus names, and principal investigators are unpublished here. 3.5% of $31,874,433,614.85 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score for Maryland 2nd District. Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) also has a custom-programming (541511) join in this harvest. Those dollars are a different NAICS and are not folded into 541720. Do not rank MD-02 as a research winner among Maryland districts.

The NAICS 541720 industry rollup

USAspending labels industry 541720 as Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities. That code produced $1,106,112,074.60 when crossed with Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) place of performance. The industry-wide 541720 hub does not require MD-02 geography. The district hub does not require Social Science R&D. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 79 awards. The packet does not split economics, sociology, history, or other humanities lines, and it does not split contract versus assistance.

Correlation is not causation: Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) did not cause $1,106,112,074.60 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 541720 × MD-02 only. This cell is not a citation index, a named-PI roster, or a university ranking. 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.

Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) is a geography tag, not a cash destination

Maryland federal spending shows how NAICS 541720 sits beside other industry codes in the same state extract. $1,106,112,074.60 is one district-industry column, not the state table. This packet does not split Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different NAICS stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities. The district-wide obligation total published here is $31,874,433,614.85; $1,106,112,074.60 is the Social Science R&D slice of that denominator.

Commitments versus cash already paid

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,106,112,074.60 is that kind of sum for Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities inside MD-02 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 industry rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $1,106,112,074.60 as given.

Maryland's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 79-row Social Science R&D cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 79 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 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 ($14,001,418.67) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MD-02 Social Science R&D payment.

Cite USAspending.gov: Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities (NAICS 541720) obligated $1,106,112,074.60 on 79 awards coded to Maryland 2nd District (MD-02).

Keep Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities, Maryland 2nd District (MD-02), $1,106,112,074.60, and 79 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. NAICS 541720 is the 541720 parent without a MD-02 filter. Maryland federal spending is the Maryland parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with Social Science R&D does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

A modest award file still has no named recipients

Seventy-nine awards is a modest award file. Volume can hide a few large assistance lines; the packet does not identify them. Unique recipients are unpublished. A large row count makes a product split tempting; the packet still does not supply one.

Questions

How much Social Science R&D spending is coded to Maryland 2nd District (MD-02)?
USAspending.gov lists $1,106,112,074.60 in Social Science R&D (NAICS 541720) obligations across 79 awards coded to Maryland 2nd District (MD-02). That pair is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Maryland's complete federal ledger. The cell is 3.5% of the district's published total ($31,874,433,614.85). Unique recipients are unpublished.
Does this include every social-science study in MD-02?
The packet publishes one NAICS rollup. It does not split disciplines or contract versus assistance. $1,106,112,074.60 is the combined obligation sum for NAICS 541720 inside MD-02 coding. This page will not invent a topic pie or name investigators. 79 remains an action count, not a study count.
Is $1,106,112,074.60 cash already paid in Maryland 2nd District (MD-02)?
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 $1,106,112,074.60 as checks already cleared in Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 79 awards. Prefer the live district and industry hubs if the tables moved.
Is Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) ranked against other Maryland districts here?
No. This page does not rank Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) as a winner or loser. $1,106,112,074.60 and 79 describe one join. Neighboring districts have their own cells. Cite Research And Development In The Social Sciences And Humanities and Maryland 2nd District (MD-02) together without a league table. Confusing this join with Maryland statewide social-science R&D or Maryland 3rd's physical-science R&D cell would be a different overlay.
