Mental Health Research Grants — CFDA 93.242

6,505 awards under a $13.56 billion book

Assistance listing 93.242 is titled MENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH GRANTS in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $13,557,187,407.99. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a laboratory outlay and not a publication count.

6,505 awards sit under that dollar book—a high record count next to the dollar sum. Dividing $13,557,187,407.99 by 6,505 produces a mean near $2.08 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical R01 budget and not a per-patient research cost. Many modest research actions can add to $13,557,187,407.99 without any single row dominating the table.

619 organizational recipients appear on those rows. 52 states are coded for place of performance. Neither volume statistic converts the obligation total into a count of investigators or trials.

619 recipients and 52 states

CFDA 93.242 lists 619 recipients against 6,505 awards. Recipient count is not unique scientists. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. One university or institute can hold many awards, which is why 6,505 records can sit on 619 recipients.

Fifty-two states is a coded-jurisdiction span, including territories if they appear in the file’s state field. Extra modifications can lift the 6,505-award count while dollars stay near $13,557,187,407.99. The research 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 $13,557,187,407.99 figure for CFDA 93.242 can include multi-year commitments that will disburse later. A separate institute budget justification or a clinical-trials registry is a different publication. 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 93.242 program page. Do not stretch 6,505 awards to cover every mental-health research dollar tagged under another listing.

What the 93.242 tables omit

The Mental Health Research Grants hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a grant-by-grant scientific abstract file, not a patient roster, and not a ranking of study quality. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $13,557,187,407.99.

Place-of-performance on 52 states is a coding field. A multi-site award coded to one cell can dominate geography while work occurs in several locations. Read the program page before any state split.

A worked reading of the 93.242 extract

Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 93.242: $13,557,187,407.99 in obligations, 6,505 awards, 619 recipients, and 52 states. The mean near $2.08 million per award is a quotient from those two packet totals, not a typical unit cost and not a household or client rate. If a later USAspending.gov file adds a few large actions, dollars can jump while 619 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 6,505 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $13,557,187,407.99.

Nothing in the extract splits MENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH GRANTS into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 93.242 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 6,505 awards and 619 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $13,557,187,407.99. Name the series as obligations, not outlays, every time the figure is reused. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.

A complete working citation for this listing is $13,557,187,407.99 in USAspending.gov obligations for CFDA 93.242, covering 6,505 awards, 619 recipients, and 52 states, indexed on SpendingVault. Do not convert 6,505 awards into a count of papers, or 619 recipients into a headcount of investigators. The 52-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the MENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH GRANTS hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $13,557,187,407.99, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 6,505 award rows.
