Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research in Maryland

CFDA 93.855 meets Maryland place of performance

This tie keeps USAspending assistance rows where the CFDA number is 93.855 and the place of performance is Maryland. The dollar book is $2,135,445,735.07. The award count is 676. Those two facts describe a coding intersection. They do not prove that NIAID-style research clustered in Maryland because of a particular outbreak, a university ranking, or a campus square-footage total this packet does not contain.

CFDA 93.855 is the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research assistance catalog line. Grants, cooperative agreements, and related assistance that carry that number can land on intramural campuses, extramural universities, and contractors whose performance state is coded MD. This packet does not split the 676 rows by recipient type, award instrument, or disease area. A vaccine-platform grant and a basic-immunology cooperative agreement can share the same statewide cell. Correlation is not causation.

NIH intramural employment, patent counts, and hospital-bed inventories are other series. They are not this award extract. A reader who treats $2,135,445,735.07 as Maryland’s full federal science budget has left the USAspending.gov CFDA-by-state definition. The 676 figure is a record count, including modifications present in the extract, not a count of laboratories or principal investigators.

Six hundred seventy-six awards on $2.14 billion

Six hundred seventy-six awards under $2,135,445,735.07 imply a mean near $3,158,943 per award. That quotient is blended. A few large multi-year cooperative agreements can pull the average up while many smaller R01-style actions sit below it. The packet has no median, no percentile, and no share of dollars on the largest ten awards.

Compared with formula-grant files that post a handful of statewide actions, 676 rows is a relatively thick tape for a single CFDA in one state. Volume and dollars are different columns. Cite both. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical NIAID grant size.

Questions

How much Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research spending is in Maryland?

USAspending.gov shows $2,135,445,735.07 in CFDA 93.855 obligations coded to Maryland across 676 awards. The join uses the program number and Maryland place of performance. The total is obligations, not outlays.

Is $2.14 billion Maryland’s full federal spending?

No. $2,135,445,735.07 is only the Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research cell. Other CFDA programs with Maryland place of performance sit on the statewide hub. CFDA 93.855 nationwide sits on the program page, which is not limited to Maryland.

What does 676 awards of CFDA 93.855 in Maryland include?

The extract counts 676 award records tagged to CFDA 93.855 and Maryland. Recipient-type and disease-area splits are not in this packet. The implied mean is about $3,158,943 per award from the two packet facts.

Do these obligations equal cash paid in Maryland?

No. $2,135,445,735.07 is an obligation sum. Outlays are a different USAspending series. Multi-year research vehicles can remain open after the obligation posts.
