Public Health Emergency Response cooperative agreement obligations in Maryland

Sixteen crisis-response records meet Maryland coding

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 93.354 meets Maryland place of performance. The dollar book is $1,546,324,720.54. The award count is 16. CDC public-health crisis-response cooperative agreements typically post as a modest number of awards to the state health department and, in some extracts, related recipients. Sixteen records do not equal 16 local health departments, and they do not isolate Baltimore City from the suburban counties.

The join does not prove that Maryland’s proximity to federal public-health campuses, a particular outbreak, or hospital-bed inventory caused $1,546,324,720.54. Those are other series. This packet does not split COVID-era actions from other crisis-response supplements that still carry 93.354. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Maryland’s full HHS obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) is a different cell on the same statewide stack. The 16 figure is a record count, including modifications, not a case count.

Sixteen awards and a blended mean

Sixteen awards under $1,546,324,720.54 imply a mean near $96,645,295 per award. A few large cooperative-agreement actions can dominate that average. The packet has no median and no share on the largest award.

Cite both columns. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical local-health-department grant or as a hospital contract.

Maryland’s 93.354 cell versus 93.855 research

Maryland’s state hub stacks every CFDA with performance coded to the state. Public Health Crisis Response is a CDC assistance line. NIAID-style research under 93.855 is a different program. $1,546,324,720.54 is not Maryland’s all-program total. The nationwide CFDA 93.354 page includes every state, so it is not this cell.

Place-of-performance on a state health-department cooperative agreement usually sits on Maryland even when local health departments receive subawards. This packet does not reallocate dollars to jurisdictions. Read the overlay as a coding view of 16 awards.

Obligations versus public-health drawdowns

The $1,546,324,720.54 figure is an obligation sum. Cooperative-agreement drawdowns can trail the obligation date. SpendingVault does not publish a 93.354-in-Maryland outlay total in this packet. Mixing case counts or vaccination statistics with this award file leaves the USAspending series.

Cite the join as CFDA 93.354 × Maryland, $1,546,324,720.54, 16 awards, obligations only.

Overlay and parent hubs

The Maryland × Public Health Emergency Response overlay is the table view. Recipient slices on that hub still sum toward $1,546,324,720.54 on 16 awards. The Maryland spending page and the CFDA 93.354 program page are the parents. The Maryland programs index and the ties index list other pairs.

None of those links convert the cell into case counts or into outlays this packet omits.

What Maryland’s crisis-response join is not

Public Health Emergency Response cooperative agreements in Maryland are not a ranking of jurisdictions by case counts and not a count of hospitals. The $1,546,324,720.54 figure is the CFDA 93.354 × Maryland cell. Sixteen awards describe CDC crisis-response filing, not 16 local health departments. COVID-era supplements and other crisis-response actions that still carry 93.354 are not split in this packet.

Allergy and Infectious Diseases Research (CFDA 93.855) is a different NIH-style assistance cell in Maryland with a 676-award tape. Do not add 93.354 and 93.855 from memory and call the sum “public health.” Cite 93.354 and Maryland together, keep the obligation label, and keep the 16-award count. Cooperative-agreement drawdowns can lag the obligation.

Maryland’s crisis-response cell also does not include case counts, vaccination tallies, or local-health-department subaward lists. Those series live with CDC and the state. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov obligations only: CFDA 93.354 × Maryland, $1,546,324,720.54, 16 awards. If a later extract revises the 16-row tape, the implied mean near $96,645,295 moves with it. Quote the packet facts and the overlay path rather than an outbreak story.

Questions

How much Public Health Crisis Response spending is in Maryland?

USAspending.gov shows $1,546,324,720.54 in CFDA 93.354 obligations coded to Maryland across 16 awards. The join uses the program number and Maryland place of performance. The total is obligations, not outlays.

Does 16 awards mean 16 local health departments?

No. The extract counts 16 award records tagged to CFDA 93.354 and Maryland. State cooperative agreements and modifications can share the tape. The implied mean is about $96,645,295 per award from the two packet facts.

Is $1.55 billion Maryland’s full HHS spending?

No. $1,546,324,720.54 is only the Public Health Emergency Response cooperative-agreement cell. Other CFDA programs with Maryland place of performance sit on the statewide hub. Nationwide 93.354 is not limited to Maryland.

Do these obligations equal cash spent on emergency response?

No. $1,546,324,720.54 is an obligation sum. Outlays are a different USAspending series. Cooperative-agreement drawdowns can lag the obligation.
