Department of Health and Human Services federal obligations in Massachusetts

USAspending.gov records $131,024,110,359.98 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations under awarding agency 075 with place of performance in Massachusetts, across 14,850 awards. The dollar total nearly matches Illinois HHS, while Massachusetts carries thousands more award records, which lowers the mean to about $8.82 million. Hospital and university 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 $131,024,110,359.98 in Massachusetts place-of-performance obligations on 14,850 awards.
  • Mean obligation is about $8.82 million per award.
  • A thicker HHS file than Illinois at similar dollars lowers the Massachusetts mean.
  • The cell is 075 × MA, not all research spending in the state.
  • Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

A thicker HHS file at Illinois-scale dollars

Awarding agency 075 and place-of-performance MA define this join. The $131,024,110,359.98 obligation total is the sum on 14,850 records that hold both keys. Massachusetts’s all-agency hub and HHS’s all-state hub are the parents.

Fourteen thousand eight hundred fifty awards is among the thicker HHS files in this harvest, behind only Maryland. More rows under $131.0 billion pull the mean below Illinois HHS. That is file shape, not a ranking of Boston medicine.

Massachusetts’s HHS cell is $131,024,110,359.98 on 14,850 awards. Hospital and university English labels invite campus lists. The packet does not name campuses. This page does not either. Massachusetts HHS is $131,024,110,359.98 on 14,850 awards. Hospital reputations are not a named recipient list. NIH versus CMS is not split. NSF and Defense research use other codes and other Massachusetts ties. The $8.82 million mean sits between Maryland’s low HHS mean and Ohio’s higher one because 14,850 is a mid-thick file. Boston is not isolated. New Hampshire-, Rhode Island-, Connecticut-, and New York-tagged awards stay on those ties. Obligations are not outlays. The overlay is the same pair without this narrative.

Agency 075, not every research dollar in Massachusetts

Code 075 is Department of Health and Human Services. NSF, Defense, and Energy fund research under other codes and other Massachusetts ties. Those dollars are outside $131,024,110,359.98. Labeling this cell “all science spending in Massachusetts” would be wrong.

The national 075 hub drops the Massachusetts filter. Packet facts: obligation sum, 14,850 awards, state MA, code 075. No NIH-versus-CMS split is supplied.

Suffolk, Middlesex, Worcester, and the rest of the state share one MA tag. The join does not isolate Boston. Awards tagged NH, RI, CT, or NY stay on those ties. Restating the pair does not name hospitals. Awarding agency 075 and place-of-performance MA produced $131,024,110,359.98 across 14,850 awards. The $8.82 million mean is file shape, not a typical R01. NSF and Defense research use other codes. Boston is not a subtotal. Obligations remain commitments, not outlays.

Massachusetts as a geography tag

Massachusetts is USAspending state code MA. Performance in Suffolk County, a recipient in Middlesex County, and a record that only stamps MA can all sit inside $131,024,110,359.98. Awards tagged NH, RI, CT, or NY stay on those ties. The join does not isolate Boston.

Statewide Massachusetts federal spending is the parent. Agency 075 is one awarding agency there. $131.0 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint.

NSF, Defense, and Energy fund research under other codes. Those Massachusetts ties, if present, are not inside $131,024,110,359.98. Labeling this cell “all research spending” would be wrong.

14,850 awards and an $8.82 million mean

Average obligation is about $8.82 million ($131,024,110,359.98 ÷ 14,850). That sits between Maryland’s low HHS mean and Ohio’s higher mean. The average is not a typical research grant and not a median hospital award.

Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $131,024,110,359.98 as given. Treat 14,850 as award records in the aggregate, not as 14,850 labs.

Fourteen thousand eight hundred fifty rows under $131.0 billion produce an $8.82 million mean. Thicker than Illinois HHS at similar dollars, thinner than Maryland HHS. File shape, not a ranking of medical schools.

What the Massachusetts–HHS pair is not

A shared state tag does not mean Massachusetts selected these awards, and it does not mean HHS outlays equal $131,024,110,359.98 inside the state. FEC donations do not fund this cell. Correlation is not causation.

Research reputation is not a campus list

Massachusetts HHS at $131,024,110,359.98 on 14,850 awards will be read as “the hospitals.” The packet does not name hospitals. NIH versus CMS is not split. The cell is 075 × MA.

Thicker than Illinois HHS at similar dollars, thinner than Maryland HHS: that is file shape. The $8.82 million mean is not a typical R01. NSF and Defense research, if present, use other codes.
