NIEHS Superfund Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Education — CFDA 93.143

NIEHS Superfund research obligations at $710.1 million

USAspending.gov records $710,079,961.68 in obligations under CFDA 93.143. Eighty-five awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $8,353,882 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical Superfund Research Center budget and not a cost per site. Other NIEHS or EPA Superfund listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $710,079,961.68.

The assistance-listing title is NIEHS SUPERFUND HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES_BASIC RESEARCH AND EDUCATION. CFDA 93.143 is the identifier. Combining 93.143 with EPA Superfund remedial or brownfields codes would invent a combined Superfund total this packet does not contain. Read the $710,079,961.68 as the obligation book tagged 93.143 only.

61 recipients in 27 jurisdictions

Sixty-one recipients share 85 awards, or about 1.4 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $710,079,961.68 evenly would assign about $11.6 million per recipient. That density is a university-center pattern: a modest named-institution headcount carrying one or two large assistance rows. The packet does not list the 61.

Twenty-seven jurisdictions in the geographic count is a research-cluster map, not a nationwide NPL formula. Superfund research dollars follow funded centers, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of toxicologists or NPL sites.

Award rows are not a site census

Among HHS listings, 93.143 is a low-row research file: 85 awards against 61 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of Superfund research programs” and a worse proxy for sites cleaned. Recipients (61) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (85) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report NPL ranks, contaminant concentrations, or cleanup acres. Citing 85 as Superfund sites would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $710,079,961.68 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus Superfund-research outlays

The $710,079,961.68 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against NIEHS Superfund Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Education awards — are not in the packet. A center-grant file can show a large obligation stock while universities draw across multi-year project periods. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 93.143 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an NPL inventory, not a cleanup-cost file, and not a community-advisory-group roster. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $710,079,961.68. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 85 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 27 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of Superfund research. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to research centers.

Where the 93.143 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.143 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other HHS listings. For 93.143 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 93.143’s 85 awards spread $710,079,961.68 across 61 recipients and 27 jurisdictions. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 1.4 award records per recipient is the density story. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

A researcher comparing 93.143 with EPA Superfund remedial or brownfields codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The 61-recipient headcount on 27 jurisdictions is a research-center map, not an NPL cleanup ledger. Quote $710,079,961.68 as the USAspending obligation stock for NIEHS Superfund Hazardous Substances Basic Research and Education only. About 1.4 award records per recipient is the density story on 85 awards. Site counts, contaminant concentrations, and cleanup acres remain outside the packet. Outlays are a separate column.
