Where these numbers come from
This page counts grants by place of performance: where the funded work happens, as recorded on each award. The Missouri page and recipient pages count by the recipient's address instead. A university based in one county that runs a project in another shows up here under the county where the project runs.
Grants for statewide or multi-county work name no county. In Missouri that came to $76 billion of $105 billion, so county totals add up to less than the state total.
