Research Scientist political contributions from North Carolina

North Carolina donors who listed their occupation as Research Scientist reported $214,053 in FEC itemized individual contributions. That join covers 1,527 contributions from 11 donors. Nationwide, Research Scientist-coded receipts total $5,295,266 across 37,409 contributions and 802 donors. North Carolina holds 4.0% of Research Scientist dollars ($214,053 of $5,295,266), 4.1% of contributions (1,527 of 37,409), and 1.4% of donors (11 of 802). This page is the FEC.gov occupation-and-state intersection, not an RTP lab headcount, not an NIH grant roster, and not a university appointment file.

Key figures

  • North Carolina Research Scientist-coded donors account for $214,053, 1,527 contributions, and 11 donors.
  • The national Research Scientist occupation total is $5,295,266 from 802 donors and 37,409 contributions.
  • North Carolina holds 4.0% of those dollars, 4.1% of contributions, and 1.4% of donors.
  • RESEARCH SCIENTIST is a filer-entered string, not an RTP lab headcount, not an NIH grant roster, and not a university appointment file.

Eleven North Carolina donors and 1,527 Research Scientist rows

Occupation RESEARCH SCIENTIST and donor state NC produce $214,053, 1,527 contributions, and 11 donors. The occupation hub is $5,295,266, 37,409 contributions, and 802 donors. Dollar, contribution, and donor shares cluster within a few points (4.0%, 4.1%, 1.4%). North Carolina tracks the national Research Scientist mix rather than concentrating one of the three measures. North Carolina Research Scientist contribution rows sit far above the dollar share on a thin donor count.

Research Scientist is a compound science title as typed. Nearby strings — SCIENTIST, PHYSICIST, PRINCIPAL SCIENTIST, and RESEARCHER — sit in other occupation hubs when filers used those words. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $214,053 or $5,295,266. PHYSICIST is a different occupation hub, including the Maryland Physicist tie in this slice. Eleven donors and 1,527 rows show heavy repeat itemization.

Eleven North Carolina donors produced 1,527 contributions, about 138.8 itemized rows per donor in this join, versus about 46.6 rows per donor nationally (37,409 contributions from 802 donors). Mean dollars per donor in this North Carolina cell are about $19,459, versus about $6,603 across the occupation. Those ratios are arithmetic on the six packet numbers, not a gift-size ranking of influence.

RESEARCH SCIENTIST as a compound lab-title string

RESEARCH SCIENTIST is filer-entered. The FEC file does not verify a Ph.D., a lab appointment, or a North Carolina workplace. The national grouping is 802 donors, 37,409 contributions, and $5,295,266.

37,409 contributions from 802 donors shows repeat itemization nationwide. North Carolina’s 1,527 contributions from 11 donors is the NC-coded piece. This page does not split those rows by cycle, employer, or recipient committee. It locates how much of the labeled money is also coded to North Carolina.

North Carolina on the donor-state field

Eleven North Carolina donors produced 1,527 contributions totaling $214,053. Donor state NC is the address on the record, not proof of a North Carolina professional license, and not a limit to North Carolina candidates. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee.

The North Carolina campaign-finance hub includes every occupation coded to NC. This join is only RESEARCH SCIENTIST. Subtract $214,053 from $5,295,266 and $5,081,213 remains coded Research Scientist in every other state combined (35,882 contributions, 791 donors). That remainder has no row-by-row breakdown here because those states are other ties.

Row share without matching donor share

This page does not measure research scientist output, does not rank firms, and does not claim that Research Scientist-coded money caused any electoral result. Occupation plus state is a bookkeeping join. Correlation is not causation. Not an RTP lab headcount, not an NIH grant roster, and not a university appointment file.

Unitemized gifts and independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov is the source. Occupation labels are filer-entered. Itemized individual contributions only. Firm names, license numbers, and employer strings are not in these six numbers. Donor state NC is not recipient geography.

Science titles that stay on other hubs

A unique-donor count is not a person-level audit. The FEC aggregate can merge similar names or split one person who filed under variants. A contribution count can be many small itemized rows. A dollar total can hide that skew. Keeping $214,053, 1,527 contributions, and 11 donors on the same page is the point of the join: quoting only the North Carolina dollars, or only the Research Scientist national total, drops a key.

Research Scientist donations holds the $5,295,266 national occupation total. North Carolina campaign finance holds the state’s itemized individual activity across occupations. All occupations and all FEC ties collect other occupation-state pairs from the same two fields. SCIENTIST, PHYSICIST, PRINCIPAL SCIENTIST, is a different occupation string if a filer used it.

This relationship is not a forecast and not a ranking of influence. Occupation does not cause contributions, and donor state does not cause recipient geography. Public records, two fields, one intersection. FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates; occupation labels are filer-entered. PHYSICIST is a different occupation hub, including the Maryland Physicist tie in this slice. Eleven donors and 1,527 rows show heavy repeat itemization.

Questions

How much have Research Scientist donors in North Carolina given?
FEC itemized individual contributions from donors listing occupation Research Scientist and state North Carolina total $214,053, from 1,527 contributions and 11 donors. Nationwide, Research Scientist-coded receipts are $5,295,266 from 37,409 contributions and 802 donors. North Carolina is 4.0% of those dollars.
Are these Research Triangle lab scientists?
Occupation is RESEARCH SCIENTIST and state is NC. Eleven North Carolina donors produced 1,527 contributions. The FEC file does not confirm an RTP, university, or NIH appointment. Scientist and Physicist are other occupation keys. Employer is a different FEC field.
What share of Research Scientist FEC money is from North Carolina?
4.0% of the $5,295,266 occupation total is in this North Carolina join ($214,053). North Carolina also accounts for 4.1% of contributions (1,527 of 37,409) and 1.4% of donors (11 of 802). Those three shares are computed from the packet facts only.
Does this money go to North Carolina candidates?
Not necessarily. Donor state is North Carolina. Recipients can be any FEC-filing committee. This page does not allocate the $214,053 by office or by in-state versus out-of-state campaigns. Independent expenditures are omitted. FEC.gov itemized individual contributions; occupation labels are filer-entered.

FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and donor state. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
