About Alfred University
Alfred University, a tax-exempt private research and teaching institution based in Alfred, New York, serves federal agencies as a grant recipient (83% of recent awards) and as a service provider on a small number of federal contracts, with no presence on federal contract vehicles or IDIQs. The university competes in full-and-open federal grant programs rather than under set-asides, and holds no SBA designations.
Alfred's federal footprint concentrates in research and workforce development across materials science, glass and ceramic engineering, energy, climate science, and STEM education. Recent prime grant awards include a $1.0 million Cooperative Agreement from the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (CFDA 81.135) under the Glass Innovations for Future Thermal Savings (GIFTS) project to develop vacuum insulated glazing sealing technologies and eliminate internal spacers in VIG manufacturing (completion April 2029); a $948,900 National Science Foundation project grant (CFDA 47.076) in collaboration with Colorado School of Mines and Missouri University of Science and Technology to support scholarships and mentoring for 45 low-income undergraduates pursuing ceramic and glass engineering degrees (completion February 2031); a $480,000 NSF Mathematical and Physical Sciences grant (CFDA 47.049) to conduct research on stress and enthalpy relaxation in borosilicate glasses with undergraduate and graduate student involvement (completion July 2028); and a $347,740 NSF Integrative Activities grant (CFDA 47.083) to acquire an in-situ infrared spectroscopic ellipsometer system for multi-disciplinary research in ceramic engineering, glass science, and materials engineering (completion July 2027). Alfred also received a $199,986 NSF Engineering grant to develop variational quantum algorithms for power system simulation (completed February 2024) and holds cooperative agreements with the Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy for integrated university program scholarship and fellowship support and for advanced manufacturing and characterization research of high-temperature materials (completion May 2027). On the contract side, the U.S. Geological Survey awarded Alfred a firm-fixed-price purchase order valued at $8,003.41 on May 18, 2026, for precipitation sample collection services at a National Atmospheric Deposition Program monitoring station in New York, running through May 2031 with optional renewals.
The National Science Foundation dominates Alfred's customer concentration by award count with 18 grants, followed by the Department of the Navy's Office of Naval Research (6 awards, $38 thousand combined potential value), the Department of Energy (6 awards), and the National Endowment for the Arts (5 awards funding artist residency programs at the university's Institute for Electronic Arts). The Department of the Interior's U.S. Geological Survey, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, and the Department of the Navy appear in both the top-count and top-value rankings. Recent activity shows two awards per year in 2025 and three in 2026; only two awards face completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure. Alfred acts as a sub-recipient on 15 grants (17% of recent awards), primarily through collaborative research partnerships with Rutgers University, the University of South Carolina, Cornell University, and the Pennsylvania State University on energy storage, materials characterization, and nuclear waste form development projects. The university's federal grant work reflects its core institutional capabilities in materials science, glass engineering, ceramics, and renewable energy research, with secondary emphasis on STEM workforce development and climate science.
