Cardiovascular Diseases Research in Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08)

The Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08) filter on cardiovascular research

CFDA 93.837 and congressional district MA-08 meet here. $572,285,526.59 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Cardiovascular Diseases Research’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split clinical from basic cardiovascular projects, and it does not name hospitals. 118 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a patient census, a catheterization-lab inventory, or a named-investigator roster.

Dividing $572,285,526.59 by 118 yields about $4,850,004.46 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a published cost per grant and not a typical NHLBI award. One hundred eighteen awards against a $572.3 million cardiovascular cell is still concentrated relative to a formula-grant file with three rows, but it is not a named-lab directory. Open Massachusetts 8th District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 93.837 for CFDA 93.837 without the MA-08 filter, Massachusetts federal spending for the Massachusetts extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list.

Cardiovascular Diseases Research without a mechanism pie

USAspending labels CFDA 93.837 as CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES RESEARCH. That catalog number produced $572,285,526.59 when crossed with Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08) place of performance. The program hub does not require MA-08 geography. The district hub does not require Cardiovascular Diseases Research. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 118 awards. The packet does not split R01 from center grants, and it does not name labs.

Correlation is not causation: Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08) did not cause $572,285,526.59 by existing as a research-heavy place, and employment figures are not packet facts. The join is 93.837 × MA-08 only. It is not a clinic census, a trial-enrollment file, or a named-principal-investigator roster. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Reading the MA-08 stamp

Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list MA-08 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Massachusetts districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 93.837. Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Massachusetts. Other Massachusetts districts keep their own 93.837 cells.

Massachusetts federal spending shows how CFDA 93.837 sits beside other programs in the same state extract. $572,285,526.59 is one district-program column, not the state table. This packet does not split Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different CFDA stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Cardiovascular Diseases Research. The district-wide obligation total published here is $10,968,461,073.57; $572,285,526.59 is the Cardiovascular Diseases Research slice of that denominator, about 5.2%.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $572,285,526.59 is that kind of sum for Cardiovascular Diseases Research inside MA-08 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. This packet does not split assistance from contracts. Treating $572,285,526.59 as research already performed confuses obligation with outlay.

Massachusetts’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 118-row cardiovascular cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 118 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors and not patients or labs. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. The implied mean (about $4,850,004.46) is a concentration statistic, not a published cost per grant. The 5.2% share describes this join, not a ranking of Massachusetts districts as winners or losers.

Citing $572,285,526.59 without dropping a join side

Cite USAspending.gov: Cardiovascular Diseases Research (CFDA 93.837) obligated $572,285,526.59 on 118 awards coded to Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08). Name Cardiovascular Diseases Research and Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08) together. Keep the obligation word. If Massachusetts 8th District or CFDA 93.837 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a clinic census or a named-investigator roster. About 5.2% of $10,968,461,073.57 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Fewer rows, similar dollars

One hundred eighteen awards against $572,285,526.59 produces a higher implied mean than a thicker file with the same dollar book. That arithmetic does not name recipients and does not prove larger typical grants. A mid-volume row count still does not supply a mechanism pie. Prefer Massachusetts 8th District and CFDA 93.837 if the live tables moved. All spending ties lists other district-by-program pairs on the same obligation metric.

Questions

How much Cardiovascular Diseases Research spending is coded to Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08)?

USAspending.gov lists $572,285,526.59 in Cardiovascular Diseases Research obligations across 118 awards with place of performance in Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08). CFDA 93.837 × MA-08 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Massachusetts’s complete federal ledger. The cell is about 5.2% of the district’s published total ($10,968,461,073.57).

Do 118 awards mean 118 labs or investigators in MA-08?

No. Award count is a row count of USAspending actions and can include continuations and modifications. It is not a count of labs or investigators. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $4,850,004.46, a ratio of those two facts only.

Is $572,285,526.59 cash already paid in Massachusetts 8th District (MA-08)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $572,285,526.59 as research already performed confuses those terms.

Where are the live MA-08 and CFDA 93.837 tables?

Massachusetts 8th District is the district parent. CFDA 93.837 is the program hub. Massachusetts federal spending is the Massachusetts parent. All spending ties lists other pairs. Prefer those tables after later ingests; this page quotes 93.837 × MA-08 at $572,285,526.59.
