Aging Research obligations 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.

Massachusetts geography

MA is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Boston, Cambridge, or other in-state sites can share the tag. Awards coded to neighboring states stay outside $2,686,766,078.19 even when investigators collaborate.

Massachusetts federal spending is the all-program parent. CFDA 93.866 is one row on the Massachusetts programs list. $2.69 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint.

Place of performance MA is a two-letter code in the award file. It can mark a state capital, a campus, a housing authority, a transit agency, or a default statewide tag. It does not prove where every subcontract ran, and it does not convert $2,686,766,078.19 into a county map. Awards with a different state code are outside this cell even if people, patients, or riders cross the border.

Mean near $2.40 million

$2,686,766,078.19 ÷ 1,119 is about $2.40 million per award. A four-digit award count pulls the mean below statewide formula grants. The average is not a median R01 and not a typical trainee stipend. The aggregate reports net obligations; 1,119 is an award-record count, not 1,119 finished studies.

Treat 1119 as a record count in an aggregate, not as 1119 finished projects. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; the $2,686,766,078.19 figure is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register on this page, you cannot see how many of the 1119 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections.

Using the Aging Research–Massachusetts overlay

The overlay target for this tie is the Massachusetts × CFDA 93.866 table. Open that path when you want the same $2,686,766,078.19 / 1119-award cell in the site’s data chrome. The national program page for CFDA 93.866 drops the Massachusetts filter. The Massachusetts spending hub drops the CFDA filter. The Massachusetts programs index lists other catalogs beside Aging Research. All spending ties is the directory of other pairs.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that Massachusetts “won” or “lost” federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. Correlation is not causation. The headline number remains $2,686,766,078.19 on 1119 awards, from USAspending.gov, for Aging Research in Massachusetts.

What the intersection is not

A large 93.866 total in Massachusetts does not mean donations to Massachusetts candidates paid for the awards. FEC and USAspending are different systems. Correlation is not causation. Outlays may differ from $2,686,766,078.19.

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.
