Military Medical Research and Development in Maryland

Defense medical R&D meeting Maryland

CFDA 12.420 is titled MILITARY MEDICAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT. Crossed with Maryland place of performance, obligations sum to $3,500,731,126.51 on 293 awards. The national 12.420 hub includes every state. Maryland’s spending hub includes every program. This tie reports the overlap only.

Two hundred ninety-three awards is a mid-range research count: more instruments than a seven-award formula grant, fewer than a thousand-plus NIH-style cell. The join does not name Walter Reed, Fort Detrick, or university partners. Packet facts are $3,500,731,126.51, 293 awards, MD, and 12.420.

Readers sometimes treat a large CFDA–state total as if it were a budget line the state legislature passed. $3,500,731,126.51 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation sum on awards tagged 12.420 and MD. 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 Maryland against other states on need, performance, or politics.

The National Capital Region straddles Maryland, Virginia, and the District. This cell keeps only MD. 293 awards totaling $3,500,731,126.51 at about $11.95 million each are CFDA 12.420 records tagged Maryland. Collaboration across the Potomac does not pull Virginia-coded awards into this total.

12.420 is not every Defense health dollar

Military construction, TRICARE-related assistance, and other Defense catalogs use different CFDA or contract families. Folding those into $3,500,731,126.51 would invent a broader medical total than this cell contains. HHS research catalogs in Maryland are separate joins as well.

Facts available: Maryland, CFDA 12.420, $3,500,731,126.51, 293 awards. Fiscal-year splits, intramural versus extramural shares, and topic areas (trauma, infectious disease, and so on) are not in the facts. The title is the catalog name, not a clinical outcome.

The only numeric facts on this packet are $3,500,731,126.51, 293 awards, CFDA 12.420, program title Military Medical Research And Development, and geography MD/Maryland. Any other dollar, year, recipient, or percentage would be invented. Trivial arithmetic from those facts is allowed: 293 awards into $3,500,731,126.51 is about $11.95 million per award. That quotient is a mean of records, not a typical household, student, or lab.

Defense health spending in ordinary speech includes TRICARE, construction, and intramural labs. CFDA 12.420 is military medical R&D. $3,500,731,126.51 does not swallow those other families. HHS research in Maryland is a different cabinet.

Questions

How much military medical research funding is obligated in Maryland?

USAspending records $3,500,731,126.51 in CFDA 12.420 obligations with Maryland place of performance across 293 awards. That is the pair aggregate, not all Defense spending in Maryland and not an outlay.

Does this include all Pentagon health spending in Maryland?

No. This join is CFDA 12.420 only. Other Defense and HHS catalogs use other numbers. The $3,500,731,126.51 total does not absorb those cells.

What is the average award size?

About $11.95 million ($3,500,731,126.51 ÷ 293). The mean is not a median grant and not a typical invoice.

Does place of performance mean the work happened only in Maryland?

Place of performance is a USAspending geography tag (MD). Subcontracts in other states can exist even when the award is tagged Maryland. Awards tagged elsewhere are excluded from this cell.
