The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, operating through its Sponsored Projects Administration Division, received a $112.5K grant award from a civilian federal agency's Shared Services Center effective January 1, 2026, with completion targeted for December 31, 2027. The award supports execution of a balanced science program grounded in discipline-specific guidance from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, aligned with agency administration priorities and congressional direction. The work will be performed at Columbia University's location in New York, NY, and no set-aside designation was utilized in this competitive award. Columbia University's extensive track record as a federal research partner, evidenced by millions of dollars in prior awards from agencies including the National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Department of Defense, and NASA across domains spanning quantum computing, biomedical sciences, and advanced materials, positions the institution to effectively execute this research initiative.

The relatively modest ceiling value of this grant reflects a focused research effort that will benefit from Columbia's sophisticated research infrastructure and world-class faculty expertise. As an established prime contractor and grantee since its SAM.gov registration in 2002, Columbia University brings proven capabilities in managing federally-funded research programs and delivering results aligned with national scientific priorities. The university's Strategic Framework Agreement with U.S. Special Operations Command and multiple active awards across federal agencies demonstrate its capacity to serve as a strategic research partner capable of advancing the agency's scientific and technical objectives through disciplined execution and collaborative excellence.
