Key figures
- CFDA 93.323 shows $11,582,553,898.47 in USAspending obligations.
- 133 awards and 105 recipients sit under that total across 52 states.
- Award volume is low relative to the dollar sum, so mean dollars per award are high.
- Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not Treasury outlays.
133 awards hold $11.58 billion
Assistance listing 93.323 is titled EPIDEMIOLOGY AND LABORATORY CAPACITY FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES (ELC) in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $11,582,553,898.47. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not a lab invoice already paid.
Only 133 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $11,582,553,898.47 by 133 produces a mean near $87.1 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical test-kit price and not a per-case investigation cost. A listing this concentrated will look sparse in the award table even while the dollar sum is large.
105 organizational recipients appear on those rows—close to the award count. 52 states are coded for place of performance. Neither count converts the obligation total into specimens processed.
105 recipients across 52 states
CFDA 93.323 lists 105 recipients and 52 states against 133 awards. Recipient count is not unique patients. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores. With 133 awards on 105 recipients, many recipients hold a small number of large actions in this snapshot.
Fifty-two states is a coded-jurisdiction span consistent with a capacity program that reaches most states and territories in the file. Because 133 awards are few relative to $11,582,553,898.47, a handful of large state or territorial actions can move dollars without a matching jump in the 105-recipient count.
Obligations versus laboratory outlays
USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $11,582,553,898.47 figure for CFDA 93.323 can include commitments that will disburse as capacity work continues. A separate case-count dashboard or a Treasury outlay table 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 93.323 program page. Do not stretch 133 awards or 105 recipients to cover every infectious-disease dollar tagged under another listing.
What the 93.323 tables omit
The ELC hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a test-volume file, not a case roster, and not a laboratory accreditation list. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $11,582,553,898.47.
Place-of-performance on 52 states is a coding field. A statewide health department coded to one cell can dominate geography while laboratories sit in many localities. Read the program page before any state split.
How to cite CFDA 93.323
A complete citation is $11,582,553,898.47 in obligations for CFDA 93.323, covering 133 awards, 105 recipients, and 52 states, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. Lead with the 133-award count if the question is concentration.
Start with the Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases program page, then the all-programs index. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total.
A worked reading of the 93.323 extract
Start from the four packet facts on CFDA 93.323: $11,582,553,898.47 in obligations, 133 awards, 105 recipients, and 52 states. The mean near $87.09 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 105 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 133 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $11,582,553,898.47.
Nothing in the extract splits EPIDEMIOLOGY AND LABORATORY CAPACITY FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES (ELC) into subaccounts, fiscal years, or outlay versus obligation series beyond the stored totals. Those cuts live in other publications. Treat CFDA 93.323 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 133 awards and 105 recipients next to the dollars so the record count is visible beside $11,582,553,898.47. 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 $11,582,553,898.47 in USAspending.gov obligations for CFDA 93.323, covering 133 awards, 105 recipients, and 52 states, indexed on SpendingVault. Do not convert 133 awards into tests run, or 105 recipients into a laboratory census. The 52-state field is place-of-performance coding in the assistance extract. Read the EPIDEMIOLOGY AND LABORATORY CAPACITY FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES (ELC) hub before inferring a geographic story from the dollar total alone. If a number you expected is missing from $11,582,553,898.47, the usual cause is a different reporting concept rather than a gap in the 133 award rows.
Questions
- How much is obligated under ELC infectious disease capacity?
- USAspending.gov assistance awards indexed on SpendingVault show $11,582,553,898.47 in obligations for CFDA 93.323. That sum is an obligation total, not a Treasury outlay total and not a count of tests. The same extract lists 133 awards, 105 recipients, and 52 states.
- Why does CFDA 93.323 have only 133 awards?
- The indexed award count is 133. Capacity dollars often sit on a relatively small number of large state or territorial actions, which is why $11,582,553,898.47 can coexist with a low record count. The 133 figure is a file statistic, not a count of laboratories. 105 organizational recipients are stored on those rows.
- Is the $11.58 billion already spent on lab work?
- Not as a cash-paid sum. USAspending reports obligations—commitments to pay—rather than outlays. The $11,582,553,898.47 figure can include amounts that will disburse later. Cite CFDA 93.323 with the obligation total from USAspending.gov assistance awards, not an outlay series. The program hub on SpendingVault holds the award rows behind those totals. Keep the series labeled as obligations from USAspending.gov assistance awards; do not swap in an outlay figure from another report.
- How many states appear on CFDA 93.323?
- The extract codes 52 states for Epidemiology and Laboratory Capacity for Infectious Diseases. That count is place-of-performance geography in USAspending.gov assistance files, not a map of every lab. Those rows still sit under the $11,582,553,898.47 obligation total and the 105-recipient count.
