Department of Health and Human Services federal obligations in Maryland

USAspending.gov records $137,624,784,112.94 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations under awarding agency 075 with place of performance in Maryland, across 27,250 awards. That is the thickest HHS award file in this harvest: more than 27,000 records under a dollar total that is not the largest. The mean falls to about $5.05 million. Campus and intramural geography may sit in the raw file; the packet does not name campuses, so this page does not either. Obligations are commitments, not outlays.

Key figures

  • HHS agency 075 shows $137,624,784,112.94 in Maryland place-of-performance obligations on 27,250 awards.
  • Mean obligation is about $5.05 million per award, the lowest HHS mean in this slice.
  • A thick award file, not a named campus list, drives the row count.
  • Maryland is a USAspending geography tag; DC-coded awards are excluded.
  • Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

A high-row HHS × Maryland cell

Awarding agency 075 plus place-of-performance Maryland define the join. The $137,624,784,112.94 obligation total is the sum on 27,250 award records that carry both keys. Maryland’s all-agency hub and HHS’s all-state hub remain the two parents.

Twenty-seven thousand two hundred fifty awards is an outlier row count among HHS state cells here. More records under $137.6 billion produce the lowest HHS mean in the slice. That is a file-shape fact. It is not a ranking of Maryland’s public health.

Maryland’s HHS cell is $137,624,784,112.94 on 27,250 awards. The thick file is the distinctive fact. It is compatible with many research instruments, many assistance actions, or both. The packet does not say which. Maryland HHS is $137,624,784,112.94 on 27,250 awards, the thickest HHS file in this harvest and the lowest HHS mean (about $5.05 million). Thickness is not a Bethesda campus list. NIH, CMS, and other operating divisions can all land in 075 without being named. DC- and Virginia-tagged awards stay on those ties even when the lab sits a few miles from the District line. Twenty-seven thousand two hundred fifty records are not 27,250 unique investigators. Related instruments can share the aggregate. Obligations are not outlays. Use the Maryland hub for all-agency context.

Agency 075 without assuming NIH-only

Code 075 is the full Department of Health and Human Services in this aggregate. NIH, CMS, CDC, and other operating divisions can all land in 075. The packet does not split them. Calling the $137,624,784,112.94 total “NIH spending in Maryland” would over-specify facts that are not present.

The national 075 hub drops the Maryland filter. Facts on this page: obligation sum, 27,250 awards, state MD, code 075. No Bethesda-versus-Baltimore table is supplied.

Montgomery County, Baltimore, and the Eastern Shore share one MD tag. The join does not isolate Bethesda. Awards tagged DC or VA stay on those ties even when the lab is a few miles from the District line.

Maryland as place of performance next to DC

Maryland is USAspending state code MD. Performance in Montgomery County, a recipient in Baltimore, and a record that only stamps MD can all feed $137,624,784,112.94. Awards tagged DC or VA stay on those ties even when the lab sits a few miles away. The join does not re-geocode the Beltway.

Statewide Maryland federal spending is the parent. Agency 075 is one awarding agency there. $137.6 billion is not Maryland’s complete federal footprint.

Intramural and extramural awards can both carry a Maryland place-of-performance tag. This page does not split them. The $137,624,784,112.94 total is the full 075 × MD cell.

27,250 awards and a $5.05 million mean

Average obligation is about $5.05 million ($137,624,784,112.94 ÷ 27,250). That is far below North Dakota’s HHS mean because the Maryland file has more than fifteen times as many rows. A lower mean flags many smaller instruments mixed with large ones; it is not a median grant.

Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $137,624,784,112.94 as given. Treat 27,250 as award records in the aggregate, not as 27,250 unique labs.

Twenty-seven thousand two hundred fifty records are not 27,250 unique investigators. Related instruments and modifications can sit in the same aggregate. The $5.05 million mean is dollars divided by rows.

What the Maryland–HHS pair is not

A shared state tag does not mean Maryland selected these awards, and it does not mean HHS outlays equal $137,624,784,112.94 inside the state. FEC donations do not fund this cell. Correlation is not causation.

Thick files and unnamed campuses

Maryland’s 27,250 HHS awards under $137,624,784,112.94 are the thickest HHS file in this harvest. Thickness is compatible with research instruments. It is also compatible with many assistance actions. The packet does not say which, so the page does not pick a campus story.

Beltway adjacency does not import DC-coded awards. MD is the tag. The $5.05 million mean is the arithmetic of a thick file. It is not a typical R01 and not a median CMS claim.

Questions

How much HHS funding is obligated in Maryland?
USAspending records $137,624,784,112.94 in obligations for awarding agency 075 with Maryland place of performance, covering 27,250 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for this pair, not outlays.
Why does Maryland have so many HHS awards?
The aggregate contains 27,250 award records summing to $137,624,784,112.94. The packet does not explain the operational mix. A high row count lowers the mean to about $5.05 million.
Is this NIH spending in Bethesda?
The filter is awarding agency 075 as a whole, not a single operating division or city. The facts do not isolate NIH or Bethesda inside the $137,624,784,112.94 total.
Are DC-coded HHS awards included?
No. Only records tagged MD as place of performance enter this cell. DC and Virginia HHS awards sit on those ties.
