Vision Research — CFDA 93.867

Vision-research obligations at $6.08 billion

USAspending.gov records $6,084,323,751.60 in obligations under CFDA 93.867. Three thousand thirty-six awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $2.00 million per award — typical of multi-year biomedical 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 VISION RESEARCH. CFDA 93.867 is the identifier. Other health-research listings, if tagged under other CFDA numbers, are not included in the $6.08 billion. Mixing those codes would invent a combined eye-research total this packet does not contain.

USAspending.gov records the $6,084,323,751.60 obligation stock for CFDA 93.867 together with 3,036 awards, 397 recipients, and 48 states. Keep Vision Research on 93.867 when quoting these four facts. Outlays remain a separate column.

Hundreds of recipients, 48 states

Three hundred ninety-seven recipients share 3,036 awards, or about 7.6 award records per recipient on average. Splitting $6.08 billion evenly would assign about $15.3 million per recipient. That pattern matches a research portfolio in which institutions hold multiple awards. The packet does not list the 397. Recipient count is the organizational headcount, not a census of investigators.

Forty-eight states in the geographic count show broad coding without covering every coded jurisdiction. Research dollars still concentrate at large biomedical campuses. The state count does not flatten those differences. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Award count is not a patient count

Among research listings, 93.867 is a dense file: 3,036 rows against 397 recipients. Renewals and supplements can inflate award count relative to unique projects. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of vision studies.” Recipients (397) tell you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (3,036) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report trial enrollments, clinic visits, or publication counts. Citing 3,036 as patients or papers would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, states.

Obligations versus research outlays

The $6.08 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against vision-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. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 93.867 to size the Vision Research listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a clinical-outcomes dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 93.867.

What the 93.867 tables omit

The Vision Research hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a trial registry, not a patient census, and not a publication index. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $6,084,323,751.60. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 3,036 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 48 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 reagents or staff.

Where the Vision Research table lives

The Vision Research program page overlays these four facts. The all-programs index ranks 93.867 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency rollups that may include this CFDA among other health-research listings. For 93.867 only, start on the program page.

CFDA 93.867’s 3,036 awards spread $6,084,323,751.60 across 397 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 7.6 award records per recipient is the density story on this listing. Outlays remain a separate column. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards. The four-fact citation for CFDA 93.867 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 93.867 before ranking this listing against other assistance rows.
