Oral Diseases and Disorders Research — CFDA 93.121

Oral-research obligations at $3.59 billion

USAspending.gov records $3,585,409,210.50 in obligations under CFDA 93.121. Two thousand seven awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $1.79 million per award — typical of multi-year biomedical research grants rather than state block grants. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical dental-school project budget.

The assistance-listing title is ORAL DISEASES AND DISORDERS RESEARCH. CFDA 93.121 is the identifier. Other institute listings tagged under other CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $3.59 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined dental-research total this packet does not contain.

318 recipients across 49 states

Three hundred eighteen recipients share 2,007 awards, or about 6.3 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $3.59 billion evenly would assign about $11.3 million per recipient. That pattern matches a research portfolio in which institutions hold multiple awards. The packet does not list the 318. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of investigators or patients.

Forty-nine states in the geographic count show broad coding without covering every coded jurisdiction. Research dollars still concentrate at large dental and biomedical campuses. The state count does not flatten those differences. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a dental-visit count

Among research listings, 93.121 is a dense file: 2,007 rows against 318 recipients. Renewals and supplements can inflate award count relative to unique projects. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of oral-health studies.” Recipients (318) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (2,007) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report trial enrollments, clinic visits, or publication counts. Citing 2,007 as patients or papers would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus research outlays

The $3.59 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against oral-disease research awards — are not in the packet. A laboratory can show a large obligation stock while draws follow a multi-year grant calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 93.121 to size the Oral Diseases and Disorders Research listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a clinical-outcomes dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 93.121.

What the 93.121 tables omit

The Oral Diseases and Disorders Research hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a trial registry, not a patient census, and not a publication index. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $3,585,409,210.50. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 2,007 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 49 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 reagents or staff.

Where the 93.121 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.121 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other health-research listings. For 93.121 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 93.121’s 2,007 awards spread $3,585,409,210.50 across 318 recipients and 49 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 6.3 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

CFDA 93.121 is indexed at $3,585,409,210.50 in obligations, 2,007 awards, 318 recipients, and 49 states on USAspending.gov. Oral Diseases and Disorders Research should be cited on that CFDA row alone. The $3.59 billion figure sizes the listing in the assistance file. It does not convert obligations into outlays, and it does not convert award count into a service, patient, student, or project census.

Readers who need the overlay tables should start on the program page for CFDA 93.121, then rank the listing on the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other listings; they do not replace the $3,585,409,210.50 obligation stock. Keep the four facts together when quoting Oral Diseases and Disorders Research: dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov, award count as a stored-row count, recipient count as the organizational headcount (including 0 when the extract stores none), and the state figure as a geographic coding count.

Questions

How much is obligated for oral diseases and disorders research?

USAspending.gov records $3,585,409,210.50 in obligations for CFDA 93.121. SpendingVault indexes 2,007 awards, 318 recipients, and 49 states. The figure is an obligation sum from assistance awards, not an outlay and not a patient count. CFDA 93.121’s $3.59 billion is the USAspending obligation stock.

How many awards does CFDA 93.121 carry?

The listing shows 2,007 awards against 318 recipients, or about 6.3 award records per recipient. A simple average is about $1.79 million per award. Award count is not a study or patient count. Recipient dollars are on the program page.

How many organizations receive 93.121 awards?

The extract lists 318 recipients. Those are organizational recipients on assistance awards tagged 93.121. Geographic coding covers 49 states. The packet does not name the 318 or publish scientific output. Recipient count is the organizational headcount. CFDA 93.121’s $3.59 billion on 2,007 awards, with 318 recipients and 49 states in this aggregate, is the USAspending obligation stock.

Is $3.59 billion already spent on oral-disease research?

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. CFDA 93.121’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report cash drawn, remaining balances, or research results. The $3.59 billion on 2,007 awards is the obligation figure.
