ACL National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research — CFDA 93.433

$795,715,483.21 in federal obligations is indexed on USAspending.gov for ACL National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research (CFDA 93.433). The listing carries 594 awards, 182 recipients, and a 38-jurisdiction geographic count. Those dollars are assistance obligations, not outlays and not a count of studies completed, devices prototyped, or people with disabilities served. Five hundred ninety-four awards against 182 named organizations is a research-center file, not a 50-state formula. The 38-jurisdiction map and 594 awards describe a research-center file, and the $795,715,483.21 stock should be read only against CFDA 93.433.

NIDILRR obligations at $795,715,483.21

USAspending.gov records $795,715,483.21 in obligations under CFDA 93.433. Five hundred ninety-four awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $1,339,588 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical Rehabilitation Research and Training Center budget and not a cost per study. Other Administration for Community Living listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $795,715,483.21.

The assistance-listing title is ACL NATIONAL INSTITUTE ON DISABILITY, INDEPENDENT LIVING, AND REHABILITATION RESEARCH. CFDA 93.433 is the identifier. Combining 93.433 with vocational-rehabilitation or Independent Living Services codes would invent a combined disability total this packet does not contain. Read the $795,715,483.21 as the obligation book tagged 93.433 only.

182 recipients in 38 jurisdictions

One hundred eighty-two recipients share 594 awards, or about 3.3 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $795,715,483.21 evenly would assign about $4.37 million per recipient. That density is a university-and-institute pattern: a moderate named-organization headcount carrying several assistance rows. The packet does not list the 182.

Thirty-eight jurisdictions in the geographic count is a research-cluster map rather than a nationwide formula. NIDILRR dollars follow funded centers and investigators, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table. Recipient count is organizational, not a census of rehabilitation researchers.

Award rows are not a disability-services census

Among HHS listings, 93.433 is a mid-row research file: 594 awards against 182 recipients. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of NIDILRR projects” and a worse proxy for people served. Recipients (182) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (594) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report publications, assistive-technology units, or employment outcomes. Citing 594 as studies would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $795,715,483.21 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov.

Obligations versus NIDILRR outlays

The $795,715,483.21 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against NIDILRR awards — are not in the packet. A research file can show a large obligation stock while draws follow multi-year center grants. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 93.433 to size this disability-research listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a vocational-rehabilitation dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 93.433.

What the 93.433 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a disability-prevalence file, not an assistive-technology catalog, and not an independent-living center directory. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $795,715,483.21. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 594 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 38 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of rehabilitation research. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid to research centers.

About 3.3 award records per recipient is the density story on 594 awards. Publications, assistive-technology units, and employment outcomes remain outside the packet. Outlays are a separate column.
