Use Cases

  • Dictionary lookup and field explanation
  • SQL filtering and grouping
  • Analytical reporting and reusable query building
  • Spending aggregation and trend analysis

Common Usage

  • Measure non-federal leverage in NASA-funded awards
  • Compare total project financing across awards
  • Segment awards by presence or size of outside funding

Common Mistakes

  • Treating it as the total award value instead of only the non-federal portion
  • Summing it with federal obligation fields without checking for double counting

Query Guidance

Filter and aggregate as a numeric amount field, using COALESCE only when appropriate for null handling. Join or compare it with award obligation or total value fields only after confirming the reporting scope, and exclude zero or null values when analyzing only awards with reported non-federal contributions.
