Cancer Cause and Prevention Research — CFDA 93.393

$5.92 billion in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for Cancer Cause and Prevention Research (CFDA 93.393). The listing carries 2,497 awards, 341 recipients, and a 48-state geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of studies, risk factors, or publications. This row is a sibling of other cancer-research listings; it is not added into those other CFDA totals.

Key figures

  • CFDA 93.393 shows $5.92 billion in USAspending obligations for Cancer Cause and Prevention Research.
  • The listing covers 2,497 awards and 341 recipients.
  • Awards are coded to 48 states in the USAspending geographic count.
  • Totals are obligations, not outlays or study counts.

Cause-and-prevention obligations at $5.92 billion

USAspending.gov records $5,915,477,684.62 in obligations under CFDA 93.393. Two thousand four hundred ninety-seven awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2.37 million per award — typical of multi-year research grants rather than state block grants. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical project budget.

The assistance-listing title is CANCER CAUSE AND PREVENTION RESEARCH. CFDA 93.393 is the identifier. Cancer biology or treatment listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $5.92 billion.

USAspending.gov records the $5,915,477,684.62 obligation stock for CFDA 93.393 together with 2,497 awards, 341 recipients, and 48 states. Keep cause-and-prevention research on 93.393 when quoting these four facts. Outlays remain a separate column.

Hundreds of recipients, 48 states

Three hundred forty-one recipients share 2,497 awards, or about 7.3 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $5.92 billion evenly would assign about $17.3 million per recipient. Universities and institutes are the unit this kind of listing usually names; the packet does not list the 341.

Forty-eight states in the geographic count show broad coding without covering every coded jurisdiction. Research dollars still concentrate at large biomedical campuses. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a study count

Among research listings, 93.393 is a dense file: 2,497 rows against 341 recipients. Renewals and supplements can inflate award count relative to unique projects. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of prevention studies.” Recipients (341) are the organizational headcount.

The packet does not report publication counts, trial enrollments, or incidence. Citing 2,497 as papers or patients would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus research outlays

The $5.92 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against these research awards — are not in the packet. A laboratory can show a large obligation stock while draws follow a multi-year grant calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.

What the 93.393 tables omit

The Cancer Cause and Prevention Research hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a publication index, not a trial registry, and not a patient census. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $5,915,477,684.62.

Place-of-performance on 48 states is a coding field. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already spent on reagents or staff.

Where the 93.393 table lives

The Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.393 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups. For 93.393 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 93.393’s 2,497 awards spread $5,915,477,684.62 across 341 recipients and 48 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 7.3 award records per recipient is the density story. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. The four-fact citation for CFDA 93.393 is the obligation stock on this extract, together with the award, recipient, and state counts already named above. Do not convert those figures into outlays, and do not treat award count as a service census. Start on the program page for CFDA 93.393 before ranking this listing against other assistance rows. Obligations remain the reporting concept on this extract; outlays are not stored in the packet facts. Award count is a record count; recipient count is the organizational headcount; the state figure is a coded-jurisdiction count from USAspending.gov. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the obligation stock; this page does not publish remaining balances. Internal links on this overlay point to the program page, the all-programs index, and agency rollups. SpendingVault indexes USAspending.gov assistance awards; it does not convert this CFDA into a performance scorecard. If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept than obligations on assistance awards.
