if I may: my belief is that 99% of people have a lot of trouble truly understanding the difference between million/billion/trillion
so I think, maybe not for your audience, but for a more general audience, along with x billion
dollars/institution, or dollars/state, also uses % federal budget ?
to hammer home @pkrugman.bsky.social 's point that the fed gov't is a social welfare agency with an army ?

It's no big surprise that R1 universities get most of this funding, but I did not know how dependent tribal colleges are on federal grants and contracts.
It’s even easier to see the bipartisan impact that cuts to federal grants could have on institutions of higher education if you look at it by U.S. House district.
Almost all the institutions that get the most money in federal grants and contracts are in blue districts, likely a function of size, location & political leanings of college-educated people. A number of them are in red states, where their senators have an interest in protecting this vital funding.
Congress needs to protect these federal grants and contracts that fund research that not only benefits all of us but also employs significant numbers of people and provides training and experience to the next generation of researchers. https://bit.ly/40g7hR8
