Cancer Research Manpower — CFDA 93.398

Cancer-manpower obligations at $1.89 billion

USAspending.gov records about $1.9 billion — $1,892,335,812.72 in obligations under CFDA 93.398. Two thousand three hundred eighty awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $795,000 per award — smaller than a typical multi-project center grant and consistent with training and career awards stacked at the same institutions. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a stipend, not a salary line, and not a per-trainee cost.

The assistance-listing title is CANCER RESEARCH MANPOWER. CFDA 93.398 is the identifier. Other National Cancer Institute research listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.89 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined cancer-research total this packet does not contain.

191 recipients across 42 states

One hundred ninety-one recipients share 2,380 awards, or about 12.5 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $1.89 billion evenly would assign about $9.91 million per recipient. That density is the story: a modest institutional roster carrying a large stack of award rows. The packet does not list the 191. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of principal investigators or fellows.

Forty-two states in the geographic count leave a visibly incomplete map. Cancer-manpower dollars in this extract follow coded place of performance, not a 50-state formula. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Twelve-and-a-half award records per recipient is the manpower-listing signature. Training and career awards stack at the same universities year after year, so 2,380 rows do not mean 2,380 separate labs. The 42-state map also matters: cancer-manpower dollars cluster where research hospitals sit, not where cancer incidence is highest. The $1,892,335,812.72 figure is still an obligation sum. A reader who wants trainee headcount, stipend tables, or T32 slot inventories needs a different series than CFDA 93.398.

Award count is not a trainee count

Among HHS research listings, 93.398 is a high-volume file: 2,380 rows against 191 recipients. Competing renewals, supplements, and training-year rows can inflate award count relative to unique institutions. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of people trained.” Recipients (191) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (2,380) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report fellow years, publications, or lab staff. Citing 2,380 as trainees would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus payment outlays

The $1.89 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against cancer-manpower awards — are not in the packet. An institution can show a large obligation stock while a draw follows a later budget period. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 93.398 to size this Cancer Research Manpower listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a cancer-incidence dashboard or a treatment-cost series. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 93.398.

What the 93.398 tables omit

The Cancer Research Manpower hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a training-slot inventory, not a publication index, and not a hospital-quality file. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,892,335,812.72. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 2,380 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 42 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 stipends.

Where the 93.398 table lives

The program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.398 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other HHS research listings. For 93.398 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 93.398’s 2,380 awards spread $1,892,335,812.72 across 191 recipients and 42 states. Quote award count as a record count, recipient count as the organizational headcount, and dollars as obligations from USAspending.gov. About 12.5 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
