Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research in North Carolina

What this CFDA–state pair actually is

This page isolates awards that carry Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number 93.855, titled ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES RESEARCH, and a North Carolina place-of-performance tag. The $3,871,135,236.16 figure is the sum of obligations on records that satisfy both filters. The national CFDA 93.855 hub includes every state. The North Carolina spending hub includes every program. Neither parent table equals this overlap.

Five hundred sixty-six awards is a large instrument count relative to many assistance programs that post a handful of statewide grants. The dollars still sit in the billions because the mean obligation is high, not because 566 is a census of every health award in the state. The join does not prove that North Carolina has more allergy research than Massachusetts or Washington; those are separate cells with their own facts.

Readers sometimes treat a large CFDA–state total as if it were a budget line the state legislature passed. $3,871,135,236.16 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation sum on awards tagged 93.855 and NC. 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 North Carolina against other states on need, performance, or politics.

Research Triangle geography often dominates how people imagine North Carolina science, but this aggregate does not isolate Durham, Chapel Hill, or Winston-Salem. All 566 awards that carry CFDA 93.855 and NC sit inside $3,871,135,236.16. A campus with a large share of those records would still be invisible here; the packet has no recipient table. The about $6.84 million mean is an arithmetic property of the cell, not a typical R01.

CFDA 93.855 without stretching the label

USAspending keys this program to 93.855. Other HHS research catalogs—cancer, aging, cardiovascular—use different CFDA numbers and live on other ties. Treating 93.855 as “all NIH work in North Carolina” would mix catalogs this aggregate does not contain. The packet facts here are the $3,871,135,236.16 obligation total, 566 awards, state NC, CFDA 93.855, and the program title. Recipient names, fiscal-year splits, and institute-level codes are not in those facts.

Allergy and infectious-disease research is the catalog title, not a laboratory roster. An award coded 93.855 with place of performance NC can be a university grant, a contract, or another assistance type; this page does not split those instruments.

The only numeric facts on this packet are $3,871,135,236.16, 566 awards, CFDA 93.855, program title Allergy And Infectious Diseases Research, and geography NC/North Carolina. Any other dollar, year, recipient, or percentage would be invented. Trivial arithmetic from those facts is allowed: 566 awards into $3,871,135,236.16 is about $6.84 million per award. That quotient is a mean of records, not a typical household, student, or lab.

If a reader came from the North Carolina programs index, CFDA 93.855 is one row among many. If they came from the national 93.855 hub, North Carolina is one geography among many. Either path still lands on $3,871,135,236.16 and 566 awards once both filters apply. That is the definition of this tie.

Questions

How much CFDA 93.855 funding is obligated in North Carolina?

USAspending records $3,871,135,236.16 in obligations for Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) with North Carolina place of performance, covering 566 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for this pair, not an outlay figure and not the program’s national total.

Is this all federal health research in North Carolina?

No. The packet facts cover CFDA 93.855 only. Other research catalogs use other CFDA numbers and appear on separate North Carolina program pages. The North Carolina hub is the all-program parent.

Why is the average award about $6.84 million?

Dividing $3,871,135,236.16 by 566 awards produces about $6.84 million per award. Research aggregates often mix large multi-year instruments with smaller ones. The mean is not a median invoice.

Does place of performance mean the money stays in North Carolina?

Place of performance is a USAspending geography tag (NC), not a proof of where every subcontract is performed. Awards coded to other states are excluded even if collaborators work in North Carolina.
