Where these numbers come from
This page counts grants by place of performance: where the funded work happens, as recorded on each award. The Tennessee 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 Tennessee that came to $67 billion of $97 billion, so county totals add up to less than the state total.
