NIDDK extramural research obligations in Massachusetts

What the 93.847–Massachusetts join is

CFDA 93.847 is titled DIABETES, DIGESTIVE, AND KIDNEY DISEASES EXTRAMURAL RESEARCH. Crossed with Massachusetts place of performance, obligations sum to $1,709,311,532.32 on 692 awards. The national NIDDK hub includes other states. Massachusetts’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $1,709,311,532.32 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of grants in Boston or Cambridge.

Six hundred ninety-two awards is a many-project extramural pattern: NIH research often posts as hundreds of discrete assistance records to universities and medical centers. The join does not name those institutions, split Longwood from Worcester, or count principal investigators. Packet facts stop at $1,709,311,532.32, 692 awards, MA, and 93.847.

93.847 is not NCI or NHLBI

Other NIH institute catalogs (cancer, heart/lung, allergy) use different CFDA numbers. Mixing those into $1,709,311,532.32 would invent a broader biomedical total than this cell contains. Facts available: Massachusetts, CFDA 93.847, $1,709,311,532.32, 692 awards. Study titles, R01 activity codes, and publication counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names diabetes, digestive, and kidney extramural research, not a ranking of academic medical centers. Dividing $1,709,311,532.32 by 692 yields about $2.47 million per award—closer to a typical research project than to a statewide block. Unique recipients are unpublished. 692 is not a count of labs.

Massachusetts geography on the NIDDK tag

MA is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Boston, Cambridge, Worcester, or other in-state sites can share the tag. Awards coded to New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, or New Hampshire stay outside $1,709,311,532.32 even when a multi-site trial enrolls across those borders. The code does not convert $1.71 billion into a campus map.

Massachusetts federal spending is the all-program parent. 93.847 is one row on Massachusetts programs. $1.71 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Diabetes, Digestive, And Kidney Diseases Extramural Research in Massachusetts for the filtered table, CFDA 93.847 for 93.847 without a Massachusetts filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,709,311,532.32.

Reading 692 awards under $1.71 billion

$1,709,311,532.32 ÷ 692 is about $2.47 million per award. That average is an extramural-project scale, not a typical postdoc stipend and not a per-patient cost. It is not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 692 as a record count, not as 692 finished trials.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $1,709,311,532.32 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 692 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $1,709,311,532.32 without changing the join key of 93.847 and MA.

What the NIDDK–Massachusetts pair does not prove

A large 93.847 total tagged to Massachusetts does not measure whether disease incidence fell, and it does not equal papers published. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $1,709,311,532.32 on 692 awards for NIDDK extramural research in Massachusetts.

Keep both sides of the join: Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research and Massachusetts, obligations only. Do not annualize $1,709,311,532.32 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 692 as a PI census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a discovery story.

Using the NIDDK–Massachusetts overlay

The overlay target is the Massachusetts × CFDA 93.847 table. Open Diabetes, Digestive, And Kidney Diseases Extramural Research in Massachusetts when you want the same $1,709,311,532.32 / 692-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 93.847 drops the Massachusetts filter. Massachusetts federal spending drops the CFDA filter. Massachusetts programs lists other catalogs beside 93.847. All spending ties indexes 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. The pair is 93.847 plus MA. Obligations of $1,709,311,532.32 are not outlays.
