Research Infrastructure Programs — CFDA 93.351

Research-infrastructure obligations at $2.19 billion

USAspending.gov records $2,194,448,385.55 in obligations under CFDA 93.351. Nine hundred forty awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2.33 million per award — larger than a typical R01-scale grant and consistent with cores, instrumentation, and similar infrastructure awards. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical instrument invoice.

The assistance-listing title is RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE PROGRAMS. CFDA 93.351 is the identifier. Other NIH institute listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $2.19 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined NIH total this packet does not contain.

270 recipients across 49 states

Two hundred seventy recipients share 940 awards, or about 3.5 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $2.19 billion evenly would assign about $8.13 million per recipient. That density is a research-institution portfolio: a few infrastructure awards per university or medical center. The packet does not list the 270. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of cores, instruments, or technicians.

Forty-nine states in the geographic count show near-nationwide coding in the USAspending state field. Infrastructure dollars still concentrate where research campuses sit. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not an instrument or core count

Among NIH listings, 93.351 is a mid-volume file: 940 awards against 270 recipients. Multi-year awards and amendments can inflate award count relative to unique cores. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of infrastructure projects.” Recipients (270) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (940) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report instruments purchased, core users, or square footage. Citing 940 as machines or labs would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus infrastructure outlays

The $2.19 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against research-infrastructure awards — are not in the packet. A campus can show a large obligation stock while procurement 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 93.351 tables omit

The research-infrastructure hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not an instrument registry, not a core directory, and not a facilities inventory. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $2,194,448,385.55. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 940 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 49 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 equipment.

Where the 93.351 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.351 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other NIH listings. For 93.351 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 93.351’s 940 awards spread $2,194,448,385.55 across 270 recipients and 49 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 3.5 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. Read 93.351 as an NIH infrastructure book: 270 organizations, 940 awards, 49 states, and about 3.5 rows per recipient — cores and instrumentation, not a formula pass-through. The $2.19 billion remains an obligation stock on USAspending.gov. Forty-nine states and 940 awards place this infrastructure listing next to other mid-volume NIH books.

Questions

How much is obligated for research infrastructure programs?

USAspending.gov records $2,194,448,385.55 in obligations for CFDA 93.351. SpendingVault indexes 940 awards, 270 recipients, and 49 states. The figure is an obligation sum from assistance awards, not an outlay and not an instrument count. CFDA 93.351’s $2.19 billion is the USAspending obligation stock.

How many awards does CFDA 93.351 carry?

The listing shows 940 awards against 270 recipients, or about 3.5 award records per recipient. A simple average is about $2.33 million per award. Award count is not a core or instrument count. Recipient dollars are on the program page.

How many organizations receive 93.351 awards?

The extract lists 270 recipients. Those are organizational recipients on assistance awards tagged 93.351. Geographic coding covers 49 states. The packet does not name the 270 or publish equipment inventories. Recipient count is the organizational headcount.

Is $2.19 billion already spent on research infrastructure?

Not necessarily. Obligations are commitments. Outlays are payments. CFDA 93.351’s indexed total is the obligation stock from USAspending.gov. This page does not report cash drawn, remaining balances, or instruments installed. The $2.19 billion on 940 awards is the obligation figure.
