Moonshot obligations at $839,069,334.40
USAspending.gov records $839,069,334.40 in obligations under CFDA 93.353. One hundred sixty-eight awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $4,994,460 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical NIH project budget and not a cost per trial arm. Other National Cancer Institute listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $839,069,334.40.
The assistance-listing title is 21ST CENTURY CURES ACT - BEAU BIDEN CANCER MOONSHOT. CFDA 93.353 is the identifier. Combining 93.353 with broader NCI R01 or Cancer Centers codes would invent a combined cancer-research total this packet does not contain. Read the $839,069,334.40 as the obligation book tagged 93.353 only.
81 recipients in 31 jurisdictions
Eighty-one recipients share 168 awards, or about 2.1 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $839,069,334.40 evenly would assign about $10.4 million per recipient. That density is a research-center pattern: a moderate named-institution headcount carrying a couple of assistance rows each. The packet does not list the 81.
Thirty-one jurisdictions in the geographic count is a research-cluster map, not a nationwide formula. Moonshot dollars follow funded institutions, not equal shares across every state. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of oncologists or trial sites.
Award rows are not a trial census
Among HHS listings, 93.353 is a mid-row research file: 168 awards against 81 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of Moonshot projects” and a worse proxy for patients treated. Recipients (81) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (168) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.
The packet does not report protocols, enrollment, or survival curves. Citing 168 as trials would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $839,069,334.40 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.
Obligations versus cancer-research outlays
The $839,069,334.40 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against Beau Biden Cancer Moonshot awards — are not in the packet. A research file can show a large obligation stock while draws follow multi-year project periods. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

What the 93.353 tables omit
The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a clinical-trial registry, not a cancer-registry extract, and not a drug-approval log. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $839,069,334.40. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 168 award rows.
Place-of-performance on 31 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of cancer research. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to research institutions.

About 2.1 award records per recipient is the density story on 168 awards. Trial enrollments, protocols, and survival curves remain outside the packet. Outlays are a separate column.
