Funding & project records

Start with the original record

The State HISC publishes funding information and annual project lists. Its FY26 page contains both a FY26 heading and a table heading labeled FY25. That labeling needs clarification before its rows are treated as a clean FY26 dataset. This is a source-quality question, not proof of financial misuse.

Keep different figures separate

• Appropriation: the amount authorized in a budget measure.
• Available funding: the amount a program reports as available after applicable adjustments.
• Award: an approved allocation for a project.
• Expenditure: money actually spent during a defined period.
• Outcome: a measured change associated with the funded work.

Questions for each funded project

What was promised, when was it due, and where is the final report? Which activities were completed? Which outcomes were measured? Were there independent comparisons, and were unfavorable results reported?

For purchasing or product claims, look for the actual contract, selection process, cost, and disclosures. Do not infer a company’s control of a program from the existence of a product reference.

Our next evidence step

The internal team can prioritize a small number of CRB, committee, and UH records for a documented comparison. The site currently links to the public sources; it does not present an audited expenditure database.
