Strengthening Public Health Through Surveillance, Epidemiologic Research, Disease Detection and Prevention — CFDA 93.326

Surveillance obligations at $645.2M

USAspending.gov records $645,241,022.95 in obligations under CFDA 93.326. Twenty awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $32.26 million per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical epidemiology cooperative-agreement invoice and not a cost per case detected.

The assistance-listing title is STRENGTHENING PUBLIC HEALTH THROUGH SURVEILLANCE, EPIDEMIOLOGIC RESEARCH, DISEASE DETECTION AND PREVENTION. CFDA 93.326 is the identifier. Other CDC epidemiology or preparedness listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $645.2M. Combining those codes would invent a combined surveillance total this packet does not contain.

20 recipients on 20 award rows

Twenty recipients share 20 awards — exactly 1.0 award record per recipient. Splitting $645,241,022.95 evenly would assign about $32.26 million per recipient. That density is a large-cooperative fingerprint: one assistance row per named organization, each carrying a sizable dollar stock. The packet does not list the 20. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal extract, not a census of state health departments or epidemiologists.

Seventeen states in the geographic count is a partial map. Surveillance dollars follow cooperative geography as coded, not a 50-state equal share. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

One award per recipient is not a case census

Among HHS public-health listings, 93.326 is a low-row, high-average file: 20 awards against 20 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of surveillance systems” and a worse proxy for cases detected. Recipients (20) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (20) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report notifiable-disease counts, lab throughput, or outbreak investigations. Citing 20 as diseases tracked would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus surveillance outlays

The $645.2M is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against surveillance and disease-detection awards — are not in the packet. A cooperative file can show a large obligation stock while reimbursements follow a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 93.326 to size this surveillance, epidemiologic research, disease detection and prevention listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as an ELC, PHEP, or notifiable-disease dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 93.326.

What the 93.326 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a case registry, not a lab directory, and not an outbreak log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $645,241,022.95. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 20 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 17 states is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as a national surveillance total. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to cooperators.

Public-health surveillance’s 17-state map and 20-recipient headcount together describe a one-row-per-payee epidemiology book, not a county health-department roster. A researcher comparing 93.326 with ELC or PHEP codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. The $645.2M stock is the USAspending obligation book for this listing only.

Where the 93.326 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.326 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other HHS listings. For 93.326 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 93.326’s 20 awards spread $645,241,022.95 across 20 recipients and 17 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. Exactly 1.0 award record per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

Notifiable-disease counts, lab throughput, and outbreak investigations live in other CDC series. Those rows are outside $645,241,022.95 unless they share CFDA 93.326. Quote 20 as assistance records, 20 as organizational payees, and 17 as the geographic count.

Questions

How much is obligated for public health surveillance under 93.326?

USAspending.gov records $645.2M in obligations for CFDA 93.326. SpendingVault indexes 20 awards, 20 recipients, and 17 states. The figure is an obligation sum from assistance awards, not an outlay and not a case count. CFDA 93.326’s $645,241,022.95 is the USAspending obligation stock.

How many awards does CFDA 93.326 carry?

The listing shows 20 awards against 20 recipients — one award record per recipient. A simple average is about $32.26 million per award. Award count is not a count of diseases or labs. Recipient dollars are on the program page.

How many organizations receive 93.326 awards?

The extract lists 20 recipients. Those are organizational recipients on assistance awards tagged 93.326, not a census of state health departments or epidemiologists. Geographic coding covers 17 states. The packet does not name the 20 or publish case counts. Keep dollars, awards, recipients, and geography as separate units on the USAspending extract.

Is $645.2M already paid for disease detection?

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. CFDA 93.326’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report cash drawn, remaining balances, or outbreaks investigated. The $645,241,022.95 on 20 awards is the obligation figure. Keep dollars, awards, recipients, and geography as separate units on the USAspending extract.
