Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research — CFDA 10.001

2,884 research award rows under $918.2M

Assistance listing 10.001 is titled AGRICULTURAL RESEARCH BASIC AND APPLIED RESEARCH in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $918,225,464.84. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $918.2M as lab work already finished mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

2,884 awards sit under that dollar book—a high record count next to a still-large sum. Dividing $918,225,464.84 by 2,884 produces a mean near $318,000 per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical research-project budget and not a cost per publication. Agricultural research dollars often sit on many cooperative and extramural actions, which is why 2,884 records can coexist with $918.2M.

332 recipients across 52 states

CFDA 10.001 lists 332 recipients and 52 states against 2,884 awards. Recipient count is not unique scientists. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. A university or research unit can appear on many awards; 332 is not a census of laboratories. The 52-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, not a map of every plot or greenhouse.

2,884 awards against 332 recipients averages about 8.7 award records per recipient. Extra modifications can lift the 2,884 tally without moving $918,225,464.84 much, while a few large commitments can do the reverse. The 10.001 hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus research outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $918,225,464.84 figure for CFDA 10.001 can include multi-year grant and cooperative-agreement commitments that will disburse later. A publication index, an intramural lab budget, and a Treasury outlay series are different publications. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 10.001 program page. Do not stretch 2,884 awards or 332 recipients to cover every federal dollar that touches agricultural research.

What the 10.001 tables omit

The agricultural research hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a journal list, not an acreage file, and not an intramural-versus-extramural split. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $918,225,464.84. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 2,884 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 52 states is a coding field. A university coded to one cell can dominate geography while field sites sit in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.

How to cite CFDA 10.001

A complete citation is $918,225,464.84 in obligations for CFDA 10.001, covering 2,884 awards, 332 recipients, and 52 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. If the question is record volume rather than dollars, lead with 2,884 awards, then 332 recipients, then the $918.2M total.

Start with the Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total. Nothing here is agronomic advice.

A worked reading of the 10.001 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $918,225,464.84, 2,884 awards, 332 recipients, and 52 states under CFDA 10.001. The mean near $318,000 is a quotient from a high award count, not a typical experiment budget. If a later USAspending.gov file adds many small cooperative actions, 2,884 can rise while dollars barely move. If a few giant commitments post, $918.2M can jump without a matching jump in 332 recipients.

Nothing in the extract splits basic from applied research. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 10.001 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 2,884 awards next to the dollars so volume is not inferred from the sum.

Questions

How much is obligated under agricultural basic and applied research?

USAspending.gov assistance awards indexed on SpendingVault show $918,225,464.84 in obligations for CFDA 10.001, Agricultural Research Basic and Applied Research. That sum is an obligation total, not a Treasury outlay total and not a count of experiments. The same extract lists 2,884 awards, 332 recipients, and 52 states.

Why does CFDA 10.001 have 2,884 awards?

The indexed award count is 2,884 against 332 recipients. Agricultural research dollars often sit on many cooperative and extramural assistance actions, which is why $918,225,464.84 coexists with a high record count. The 2,884 figure is a file statistic, not a count of publications. Recipient count is not unique scientists.

Does the $918.2M total include research already paid?

Not as a cash-paid sum. USAspending reports obligations—commitments to pay—rather than outlays. The $918,225,464.84 figure can include amounts that will disburse later. The 2,884-award count is a record tally, not a count of papers. Cite CFDA 10.001 with the obligation total from USAspending.gov assistance awards, not an outlay series.

How many states appear on CFDA 10.001?

The extract codes 52 states for this agricultural research listing. That count is place-of-performance geography in USAspending.gov assistance files, not a map of every plot. Those rows still sit under the $918,225,464.84 obligation total and the 332-recipient count.
