Research Scientist contributions received by ACTBLUE

$1,501,003 in itemized individual contributions is the join between occupation RESEARCH SCIENTIST and ACTBLUE (C00401224). That cell covers 33,197 contributions from FEC.gov individual filings. The occupation grouping totals $5,295,266 across all recipients, so this committee is 28.3% of that labeled money. RESEARCH SCIENTIST is a job-title stamp, not an NIH grant obligation and not the shorter SCIENTIST key.

Key figures

  • ACTBLUE received $1,501,003 from Research Scientist-coded individual gifts across 33,197 contributions.
  • The Research Scientist occupation grouping totals $5,295,266, so this committee is 28.3% of that labeled money.
  • About $45 per contribution is the mean of 33,197 itemized lines, not a unique-person count.
  • RESEARCH SCIENTIST is a personal occupation stamp, not an NIH grant total and not USAspending awards.
  • Source: FEC.gov itemized individual contribution aggregates. Not independent expenditures.

Research Scientist meeting ActBlue as a conduit

RESEARCH SCIENTIST is the grouped occupation string. ACTBLUE is committee C00401224. SCIENTIST, RESEARCHER, and SCIENTIFIC RESEARCHER are other keys if stored separately. Matching rows sum to $1,501,003 across 33,197 contributions. The occupation hub is $5,295,266 to every committee in the aggregate. The committee overlay includes every occupation, not only Research Scientist. This tie page exists because those two dimensions meet; it is not a restatement of either hub.

Tens of thousands of itemized lines with a modest mean describe many small earmarks, not a lab PAC or a grant total. The join key is the occupation string plus committee ID C00401224. It is not a finding that a trade association, employer, or candidate bundled the gifts. Filers listed RESEARCH SCIENTIST; the receipts are attributed to C00401224 in this table. Occupation labels are filer-entered. FEC.gov does not audit job titles against licenses or payroll. SCIENTIST and RESEARCHER, if used, sit in other hubs. This join is RESEARCH SCIENTIST only.

More than a quarter of the Research Scientist grouping

The Research Scientist occupation grouping shows $5,295,266 in itemized individual money. The ACTBLUE cell is $1,501,003, or 28.3% of that total. The remaining $3,794,263 went to committees other than C00401224. Opening only this tie would hide that remainder. A 28.3% ActBlue share is large for this occupation book, but other committees still hold the rest.

Research Scientist keeps the $5,295,266 grouping and its other recipients. ACTBLUE keeps C00401224 volume from every occupation. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling occupation–committee cells so this join is not mistaken for a company PAC or for independent expenditures.

33,197 contributions through C00401224

ACTBLUE received $1,501,003 from Research Scientist-coded receipts across 33,197 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $45 per contribution. 33,197 lines are not 33,197 unique people. Repeat givers, multiple earmarks, and cycle stacking raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure for this cell. A mean near $45 is arithmetic. Lab affiliation is not a field on this join.

The source note is explicit: these figures are FEC.gov aggregates of itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee, not independent expenditures. Committee-to-committee transfers and unitemized gifts are outside the $1,501,003 total. C00401224 can function as a conduit; this join still stores the committee as the recipient on the itemized line.

NIH grants, SCIENTIST as a sibling, and awards

A 28.3% share of Research Scientist-coded dollars into C00401224 does not mean the occupation caused an election outcome, and it does not mean ACTBLUE is the occupation’s only political destination. Occupation and committee are reported together. The overlap is descriptive. Federal awards on USAspending.gov are a different ledger; this page does not claim donations funded awards. Do not connect these personal gifts to federal research obligations on USAspending.gov.

Quote $1,501,003 as 28.3% of $5,295,266 into C00401224, with 33,197 itemized lines, source FEC.gov, and stop there. Do not add sibling occupation keys. Do not fold independent expenditures into the cell. Do not treat 33,197 contributions as a headcount of people currently holding the job. This page is not an NIH grant census or a SCIENTIST occupation total.

How to cite Research Scientist × C00401224

A complete claim names Research Scientist and ACTBLUE (C00401224), then $1,501,003, 33,197 contributions, and 28.3% of $5,295,266, source FEC.gov. Keep both sides of the name whenever the dollars are quoted. The occupation hub still holds $3,794,263 outside this committee. This page isolates the overlap for readers who need both the title and the committee, not either hub restated.

An NIH grant census would be a different object. This join stops at itemized receipts tagged RESEARCH SCIENTIST and attributed to C00401224. All occupations ranks sibling titles. All FEC ties lists other occupation–committee pages. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. Mean gift $45 is $1,501,003 divided by 33,197 lines, and the occupation remainder outside C00401224 is $3,794,263. Repeat the four numbers together: $1,501,003 into C00401224, 33,197 contributions, 28.3% of $5,295,266, committee ACTBLUE.

Is this NIH grant money?
No. The source is itemized individual contributions grouped by occupation and recipient committee. The table is personal itemized contributions. Federal research obligations are a USAspending ledger. Company PAC documents and independent expenditures are other FEC categories. The cell is $1,501,003 on 33,197 lines, mean about $45.
Where are the live Research Scientist and ActBlue tables?
Research Scientist carries the $5,295,266 occupation total. ACTBLUE is committee C00401224. All occupations and All FEC ties list sibling joins. Original filings remain at FEC.gov. This tie page is the Research Scientist × C00401224 intersection only. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
