How to read these numbers
- Committed, not paid
Every figure is money committed through this department's bureaus — promised by signing a contract or awarding a grant — counted in the year each action happened, not cash out the door.
- Ranked by the year picked
The ranking re-computes for the fiscal year picked at the top. All years means FY2018 on — the first year of complete assistance reporting.
- Slices of one department
Each bureau's row is its share of the department's committed dollars; the department's own page rolls them all up.
- Awards, counted once
An award count is the number of distinct awards with at least one action that year — each counted once, however many times it was amended.
- The colored bars
Every bar on this page splits by how the money moves:
