Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research obligations in Massachusetts

A dense research catalog in one state

CFDA 93.855 (ALLERGY AND INFECTIOUS DISEASES RESEARCH) plus Massachusetts place of performance produces $3,630,443,219.90 on 1,189 awards. The national program table is unfiltered by state. The Massachusetts spending table is unfiltered by CFDA. The overlap is this tie.

One thousand one hundred eighty-nine awards is a many-instrument research pattern: lots of records, each smaller on average than a three-award Treasury relief cell. The join does not rank Boston hospitals against Worcester campuses. It reports one catalog and one geography tag.

Readers sometimes treat a large CFDA–state total as if it were a budget line the state legislature passed. $3,630,443,219.90 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation sum on awards tagged 93.855 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.

Boston and Cambridge research brands are not columns in this file. 1189 awards and $3,630,443,219.90 describe CFDA 93.855 tagged MA. The about $3.05 million mean is lower than a handful-of-awards formula cell because the instrument count is in the thousands. Density of records is not a ranking of scientific quality.

Keeping 93.855 separate from other HHS research

Other HHS research catalogs—cancer, aging, cardiovascular—use different CFDA numbers and live on other Massachusetts program pages. Adding those catalogs to $3,630,443,219.90 would invent an “all NIH in Massachusetts” figure the facts do not contain.

Available facts: MA, CFDA 93.855, $3,630,443,219.90, 1,189 awards. Fiscal-year splits, R01 versus contract mixes, and principal-investigator names are absent. The title is the catalog name, not a claim about disease prevalence in the state.

The only numeric facts on this packet are $3,630,443,219.90, 1189 awards, CFDA 93.855, program title Allergy And Infectious Diseases Research, and geography MA/Massachusetts. Any other dollar, year, recipient, or percentage would be invented. Trivial arithmetic from those facts is allowed: 1189 awards into $3,630,443,219.90 is about $3.05 million per award. That quotient is a mean of records, not a typical household, student, or lab.

Massachusetts research spending in casual conversation mixes NIH institutes, hospitals, and universities. This file mixes none of that. It keeps CFDA 93.855, MA, $3,630,443,219.90, and 1189. Other research CFDAs need their own ties.

Massachusetts geography in USAspending

MA is the place-of-performance code. Awards performed in Cambridge, Boston, or elsewhere in the state can share the same tag. Awards coded to New Hampshire or Rhode Island stay out of $3,630,443,219.90 even when labs collaborate.

Massachusetts federal spending is the parent for every program. CFDA 93.855 is one row on the Massachusetts programs list. $3.63 billion is not the state’s full 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 $3,630,443,219.90 into a county map. Awards with a different state code are outside this cell even if people, patients, or riders cross the border.

Mean obligation near $3.05 million

$3,630,443,219.90 ÷ 1,189 is about $3.05 million per award. A four-digit award count pulls the mean below programs that post a handful of statewide grants. That arithmetic describes this aggregate only; it does not prove Massachusetts science is stronger or weaker than any other state. The mean is not a median grant and not a typical trainee stipend.

Treat 1189 as a record count in an aggregate, not as 1189 finished projects. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; the $3,630,443,219.90 figure is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register on this page, you cannot see how many of the 1189 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections.

Using the Allergy And Infectious Diseases Research–Massachusetts overlay

The overlay target for this tie is the Massachusetts × CFDA 93.855 table. Open that path when you want the same $3,630,443,219.90 / 1189-award cell in the site’s data chrome. The national program page for CFDA 93.855 drops the Massachusetts filter. The Massachusetts spending hub drops the CFDA filter. The Massachusetts programs index lists other catalogs beside Allergy And Infectious Diseases 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 $3,630,443,219.90 on 1189 awards, from USAspending.gov, for Allergy And Infectious Diseases Research in Massachusetts.

What the intersection is not

A large 93.855 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 $3,630,443,219.90.

Questions

How much CFDA 93.855 funding is obligated in Massachusetts?

USAspending records $3,630,443,219.90 in Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research obligations with Massachusetts place of performance across 1,189 awards. That is the pair aggregate, not the national program total.

Does this include aging and heart research in Massachusetts?

No. Those catalogs use other CFDA numbers and sit on separate Massachusetts program pages. This page is 93.855 only. The $3,630,443,219.90 total does not absorb those other cells.

Why is the average about $3.05 million?

Massachusetts has 1,189 awards against $3,630,443,219.90, or about $3.05 million each. A large instrument count pulls the mean below catalogs that post a few statewide awards. The mean is not a median and not a quality ranking.

Are these outlays?

No. The $3,630,443,219.90 figure is obligations from USAspending.gov. Obligations are commitments, not cash out the door.
