What this data cannot show
- An obligation is a binding commitment to pay, not money paid. Outlays are reported separately and the two are never equal in the same year.
- A company can hold more than one registration with the government, and the publisher reports each separately. 7 rows in this table share a name with another row, under a different UEI, and the UEI is shown beside those names. They are not duplicates and they are not the same money counted twice — but neither is either row the company’s total.
- This is the largest 100 recipients, not every recipient. Hundreds of thousands of organizations receive federal awards; this site keeps the list this page names and the totals the hub reports, and the summary above says what share of the year those 100 account for.
- A recipient is the party named on the award, which for a grant passed through to others is the pass-through body rather than whoever finally spent the money. A state appearing high here is receiving federal money on behalf of its residents.
- Recipients are identified by the Unique Entity Identifier on the award. An organization that reports under more than one identifier appears more than once and is not combined here.
