Each column is a different measure and they are not added together. A request and an enacted amount for the same year sit side by side; the request is never rewritten when an enacted amount arrives. A blank state names why there is no amount; only a stated amount, including a stated $0, shows dollars.

USAspending awards reviewed as belonging to this program, matched on the exact award key, never on a similar name. Net obligations through Oct 6, 2026; later years are partial. The appropriation that paid for an award is not identified, so obligations are not compared with the enacted column.
Method
Four measures
- Requested
- What a budget request asked for. Not money Congress provided.
- Enacted
- What a law provided, or a spend plan's allocation of a law's lump sum.
- Announced ceiling
- The most a contract vehicle or agreement could be worth, as announced. Not spending.
- Obligated
- Net obligations on USAspending actions of the awards linked to the program. The funding account is not identified.
An announced ceiling is not spending
Figures come from the budget justification books, public laws and agency announcements named in the evidence table; where a source shows no amount the tracker says so rather than showing zero, and where DefDex has not yet checked a source it says that too. See the methodology for how federal obligations are counted.
