Where these numbers come from

This page counts grants by place of performance: where the funded work happens, as recorded on each award. The North Dakota page and recipient pages count by the recipient's address instead. A university based in one district that runs a project in another shows up here under the district where the project runs.

Grants recorded for several districts or the whole state count in no district, so district totals add up to less than the North Dakota total of $17 billion by place of performance. Districts are the current ones as USAspending maps them.
