Aging Research in Massachusetts

NIA-style catalog in one state

CFDA 93.866 is titled AGING RESEARCH. Crossed with Massachusetts place of performance, obligations sum to $2,686,766,078.19 on 1,119 awards. The national 93.866 hub has no Massachusetts filter. The Massachusetts spending hub has no CFDA filter. This tie is the overlap.

One thousand one hundred nineteen awards is a dense research pattern: many instruments, each smaller on average than a four-award CHIP cell. The join does not name institutes, Boston versus Worcester campuses, or study topics. Packet facts are $2,686,766,078.19, 1,119 awards, MA, and 93.866.

Readers sometimes treat a large CFDA–state total as if it were a budget line the state legislature passed. $2,686,766,078.19 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation sum on awards tagged 93.866 and MA. The overlay table at the program-in-state path is the same cell rendered as a page; this narrative is the join explained in prose. Nothing here ranks Massachusetts against other states on need, performance, or politics.

1119 awards totaling $2,686,766,078.19 (about $2.40 million mean) is a dense aging-research catalog tagged MA. Cardiovascular and allergy research are other numbers. Adding them would invent an all-NIH total. Lab names are not in the facts.

93.866 versus other Massachusetts research catalogs

Allergy and infectious-diseases research and cardiovascular diseases research use other CFDA numbers. Mixing those into $2,686,766,078.19 would invent an “all NIH in Massachusetts” total the facts do not contain. CHIP and HAP in Massachusetts are different catalogs entirely.

Facts available: Massachusetts, CFDA 93.866, $2,686,766,078.19, 1,119 awards. Fiscal-year splits, R01 versus center grants, and principal-investigator names are absent. The title is the catalog name, not a claim about Massachusetts demographics.

The only numeric facts on this packet are $2,686,766,078.19, 1119 awards, CFDA 93.866, program title Aging Research, and geography MA/Massachusetts. Any other dollar, year, recipient, or percentage would be invented. Trivial arithmetic from those facts is allowed: 1119 awards into $2,686,766,078.19 is about $2.40 million per award. That quotient is a mean of records, not a typical household, student, or lab.

Gerontology in casual speech includes services, Medicare, and research. CFDA 93.866 is research. $2,686,766,078.19 on 1119 awards is that catalog × MA. Service programs use other numbers.

Questions

How much Aging Research funding is obligated in Massachusetts?

USAspending records $2,686,766,078.19 in CFDA 93.866 obligations with Massachusetts place of performance across 1,119 awards. That is the pair aggregate, not the national program total and not an outlay.

Is this all NIH spending in Massachusetts?

No. Other research catalogs use other CFDA numbers. This page is 93.866 only. The $2,686,766,078.19 total does not absorb those cells.

What is the average award?

About $2.40 million ($2,686,766,078.19 ÷ 1,119). The mean is not a median and not a typical lab invoice.

Does place of performance mean every lab is in Massachusetts?

Place of performance is a USAspending geography tag (MA). Subawards elsewhere can exist. Awards tagged to other states are excluded from this cell.
