| Jul 11 at 12:53 | comment | added | William Walker III | @LarsEricson Not really worth following up with them. I think they either misunderstood the inquiry or did a terrible job explaining that their particular system didn't contain the relevant information as part of its dataset. Could have been a new hire who didn't realize what was what, etc. TLDR my guess is the person fielding your email simply made a mistake. | |
| Jul 11 at 12:10 | comment | added | Lars Ericson | OK. On what basis did NSPIRES say the information was not publicly available? Should I follow up with them and cite Federal Awards Database as a workaround? | |

Having achieved clarity on the request, updated the answer to be responsive to OP's intended use case of the information.

| Jul 9 at 17:45 | comment | added | Lars Ericson | Email to [email protected]: "I am attempting to rank my undergraduate alma mater, Carnegie Mellon University, in the category of aerospace research, versus other research universities. I am able to see FY22 grants with the following NSPIRES query: nspires.nasaprs.com/external/solicitations/… Query results do not include awarded amount. For DOE, NIH, NSF and CDMRP, award amounts are available. " | |
| Jul 8 at 14:44 | comment | added | William Walker III | @LarsEricson In that post, your original email is not reproduced, I see the image you include in the OP there, but not your email which prompted that reply. So I can't say for certain that they aren't replying to, (ad absurdum example) "Can you tell me what secret defense projects you work on?" (The subject line gives me reason to be skeptical you asked as much, but it's possible there's a nuance in the question that triggered the 'no comment' equivalent. To my best information the policy hasn't changed, but the reply you got does not accord with my understanding of that policy, either. | |
| Jul 8 at 14:15 | comment | added | Lars Ericson | At the time I wrote the question I emailed NASA and got an official reply: "That information is not available for public view." Email reproduced here: linkedin.com/pulse/…? To your best information, has the policy changed? | |
