Children's Hospitals Graduate Medical Education Payment Program — CFDA 93.255

Children's hospital GME obligations at $2.50 billion

USAspending.gov records $2,500,145,999 in obligations under CFDA 93.255. Fifty-nine awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $42.4 million per award — among the largest per-row figures in this batch and consistent with hospital-level GME payments rather than investigator grants. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical resident stipend or a per-bed cost.

The assistance-listing title is CHILDREN'S HOSPITALS GRADUATE MEDICAL EDUCATION PAYMENT PROGRAM. CFDA 93.255 is the identifier. Other GME or hospital listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.50 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined graduate-medical-education total this packet does not contain.

59 recipients, 59 awards, 31 states

Fifty-nine recipients share 59 awards, or exactly 1.0 award record per recipient. Splitting $2.50 billion evenly would assign about $42.4 million per recipient — the same figure as the per-award average because the counts match. That one-to-one pattern is unusual among research CFDAs and typical of a closed payment roster of children's hospitals. The packet does not list the 59. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of residents, fellows, or pediatric beds.

Thirty-one states in the geographic count leave a large share of the map uncoded. Children's hospital GME follows where eligible teaching hospitals sit, not population. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a resident or bed count

Among health-payment listings, 93.255 is a low-row file: 59 awards against 59 recipients. Payment-year rows can still differ from unique hospitals if the extract spans years, but this packet’s counts happen to match. Award count is therefore still a weak proxy for “number of residents trained.” Recipients (59) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (59) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report FTE residents, pediatric discharges, or board-pass rates. Citing 59 as residents or hospitals beyond the recipient headcount would mix units. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus GME outlays

The $2.50 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against CHGME awards — are not in the packet. A hospital can show a large obligation stock while a payment follows a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 93.255 tables omit

The CHGME hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a resident roster, not a bed census, and not an outcomes report. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,500,145,999. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 59 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 31 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 salaries.

Where the 93.255 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.255 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other health listings. For 93.255 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 93.255’s 59 awards spread $2,500,145,999 across 59 recipients and 31 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. One award record per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Read 93.255 as a closed GME payment roster: 59 awards, 59 hospitals, 31 states, and $42.4 million averages that describe hospital-level rows rather than resident stipends. The $2.50 billion remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov.
