Uniformed Services University Medical Research Projects — CFDA 12.750

$1.78 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for Uniformed Services University Medical Research Projects (CFDA 12.750). The listing carries 495 awards, 15 recipients, and an 11-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not Treasury outlays and not a count of studies, patients, or publications. Fifteen recipients against 495 awards is a concentrated research-partner file: many project rows at a small set of institutions.

Key figures

  • CFDA 12.750 shows $1.78 billion in USAspending obligations for Uniformed Services University Medical Research Projects.
  • The listing covers 495 awards and 15 recipients.
  • Awards are coded to 11 states in the USAspending geographic count.
  • Totals are obligations, not outlays or study counts.

USU medical-research obligations at $1.78 billion

USAspending.gov records about $1.8 billion — $1,777,644,380.83 in obligations under CFDA 12.750. Four hundred ninety-five awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $3.59 million per award — consistent with project grants stacked at a few partners rather than a single university appropriation. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical trial budget or a per-study cost.

The assistance-listing title is UNIFORMED SERVICES UNIVERSITY MEDICAL RESEARCH PROJECTS. CFDA 12.750 is the identifier. Other Department of Defense medical or USUHS listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.78 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined military-medicine total this packet does not contain.

15 recipients across 11 states

Fifteen recipients share 495 awards, or about 33.0 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.78 billion evenly would assign about $118.51 million per recipient. That density is the story: a tiny institutional roster carrying hundreds of research rows. The packet does not list the 15. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of investigators or patients.

Eleven states in the geographic count is a tight map. USU medical-research dollars follow where those partners are coded, not a 50-state formula. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Thirty-three award records per recipient on a 15-organization roster is the USU research signature: hundreds of project rows at a handful of partners. Eleven states in the geographic count is a tight map, not a 50-state formula. The $1,777,644,380.83 obligation stock is not a trial registry, not a publication index, and not an NIH rollup. Other Department of Defense medical listings stay outside CFDA 12.750. Quote 495 as assistance rows and 15 as named organizations.

Award count is not a study count

Among defense assistance listings, 12.750 is a high-repeat file: 495 rows against 15 recipients. Competing renewals and task rows can inflate award count relative to unique institutions. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of clinical studies.” Recipients (15) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (495) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report trials, enrollments, or publications. Citing 495 as studies would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.78 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against USU medical-research awards — are not in the packet. A partner can show a large obligation stock while a draw follows a later budget period. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 12.750 to size this Uniformed Services University Medical Research Projects listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a VA research, NIH, or military-hospital construction dashboard. Those series live on other codes. This page reports the obligation book tagged 12.750.

What the 12.750 tables omit

The USU medical-research hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a trial registry, not a publication index, and not a patient-outcomes file. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,777,644,380.83. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 495 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 11 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on research.

Where the 12.750 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 12.750 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other defense listings. For 12.750 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 12.750’s 495 awards spread $1,777,644,380.83 across 15 recipients and 11 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 33 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
