Researcher occupation money in the 2014 FEC cycle
Donors coded RESEARCHER accounted for $392,897 ($392,897) in the 2014 FEC cycle, from 460 itemized contributions and 163 donors. Occupation-wide, Researcher is $13,109,440. 2014 accounts for 3.0% of the Researcher occupation total ($392,897 of $13,109,440). Most Researcher-coded dollars sit in other FEC cycles. LobbyVault joins the occupation table to the cycle table. It does not rank occupations by influence.
Key figures
- $392,897 joins the Researcher occupation string to the 2014 FEC cycle.
- 460 contributions from 163 donors produced that cell.
- 2014 is about 3.0% of the occupation’s $13,109,440 lifetime total.
- RESEARCHER is a filer-entered title, not an NIH PI census.
- FEC itemized receipts are not USAspending awards.
Researcher as occupation, cycle as the other filter
Two FEC dimensions meet here: occupation RESEARCHER and the 2014 election cycle. The intersection is $392,897 ($392,897), 460 contributions, and 163 donors. 3.0% of Researcher occupation dollars ($13,109,440) fall in 2014. 2014 is a modest slice of a large RESEARCHER bucket: 460 receipts from 163 donors against an occupation total above thirteen million.
Researcher is a one-word inquiry title as typed, not a discipline recode. Nearby strings — SCIENTIST, ANALYST, RESEARCH SCIENTIST, and PROFESSOR — stay on other pages. Do not stack those dollar figures onto $392,897 or $13,109,440. Scientist and Research Scientist remain other keys; this page does not build a STEM total. The FEC file does not verify a PhD, a grant number, or a campus seat.
The RESEARCHER string across cycles
On the occupation side, $13,109,440 ($13.1 million) is the Researcher total across cycles. The 2014 cell is 3.0% of that roll; the remaining $12,716,543 sits in other years on the occupation hub and is not itemized by year on this packet. Researcher is not a clearance and not a named-institution employment file. Researcher is not an NIH PI census, a university appointment file, or a lab-badge roster.
Open Researcher donations for the $13,109,440 roll. Open the 2014 election cycle hub for every occupation in that window. All occupations and All FEC ties place this pair beside other occupation-cycle pages without combining dollar figures. Occupation labels are filer-entered on itemized individual receipts.
Receipts and donor keys inside this cycle cell
Inside the 2014 cell, 460 itemized contributions map to 163 donors. That is about 2.8 receipts per donor in the join — a repeat-gift ratio, not a unique-person survey of everyone who holds a similar job. Dollars per receipt average about $854; dollars per donor average about $2,410. Averages hide large and small lines sitting in the same total.
2014 is a midterm FEC clock (House and Senate contests without a presidential ticket on the same ballot). This packet does not split dollars by chamber, primary versus general, or party. The 2014 election cycle hub shows the cycle’s full occupation mix; this page shows only the Researcher row. 163 donors is a disclosure count for this key in 2014, not a turnout figure. Unitemized federal gifts never enter $392,897.
Two dollar columns, one occupation and one year
Keep $392,897 attached to 2014 and $13,109,440 attached to the occupation string. Adding them would double-count the 2014 dollars that already sit inside the occupation total. Subtracting them does not yield “all other cycles”; it only yields a remainder ($12,716,543) that this packet does not itemize by year.
Cite FEC.gov. Individual contributions are not PAC independent expenditures and not lobbying registrations. Nothing in the join says donations paid for a federal award or a USAspending obligation. Quote $392,897 with both nouns: Researcher and 2014.
What a Researcher cycle join cannot claim
Matching Researcher with 2014 does not measure influence, does not assign party, and does not say Researcher donors caused an electoral result. Correlation between an occupation string and a cycle is not causation. The table is also not an NIH PI census, a university appointment file, or a lab-badge roster.
Itemized individual contributions from FEC.gov only. Independent expenditures, unitemized gifts, and state-office campaigns are excluded. A person who wrote a nearby title is not in $392,897. A person who wrote this string is in it even if the day job differs. LobbyVault does not audit licenses. The public record is the string plus the dollars.
Linked researcher hub, cycle hub, and sibling titles
Researcher donations holds the $13,109,440 occupation total. The 2014 election cycle page holds every occupation in that window, not only Researcher. All occupations places RESEARCHER beside other titles without merging sibling strings (SCIENTIST, ANALYST, RESEARCH SCIENTIST, and PROFESSOR). All FEC ties lists other occupation-cycle pairs so $392,897 is not added to a different year.
Use the occupation hub for all-cycle Researcher dollars ($13,109,440). Use the 2014 cycle hub for the even-year window across titles. Use this tie for the intersection only: $392,897, 460 contributions, 163 donors, 3.0% of occupation dollars. Those four internal links are the only hrefs this copy may use. Amended individual contribution reports can move $392,897; a later harvest of the same occupation string can move $13,109,440. Rewrite only the sentence whose source moved.
Questions
- How much did Researcher-labeled donors give in 2014?
- The Researcher grouping’s 2014 cell is $392,897 in itemized individual contributions, from 460 contributions and 163 donors, per FEC.gov aggregates. That is the occupation-cycle join, not a PAC total and not the $13,109,440 all-cycle occupation total.
- Does Researcher identify a scientific discipline?
- No. RESEARCHER is a one-word stamp covering science, policy, market, and other desks. Scientist, Analyst, and Professor are other keys. This page does not split those uses or confirm a grant, a lab, or a university appointment. Figures are FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates. Researcher in 2014 is $392,897 on 460 receipts from 163 donors.
- What share of Researcher FEC money fell in 2014?
- About 3.0%. $392,897 divided by $13,109,440 is the 2014 cell’s share of the lifetime occupation bucket. Other cycles hold about $12,716,543 on the occupation hub. See the Researcher occupation hub for other cycles and the 2014 cycle hub for other strings.
- Does Researcher 2014 money fund federal awards?
- No. These figures are FEC individual contribution aggregates. Federal awards are published by USAspending. This page does not claim that campaign gifts funded those awards. $392,897 is itemized receipts tagged RESEARCHER in 2014, not an obligation total. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates by self-reported occupation and election cycle. Occupation labels are filer-entered.
