Bryan Medical Center

Bryan Medical Center, doing business as Bryanlgh Medical Center East, is a tax-exempt hospital organization based in Lincoln, Nebraska that acts as a federal grant recipient and sub-recipient, with the majority of its federal footprint (64% of awards) delivered as a sub-recipient under state and federal grant programs rather than as a prime grantee.

Bryan Medical Center's only prime federal grant award in the source data is a $750,000 project grant from the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration Bureau of Health Professionals, awarded August 1, 2026, under the Rural Health Research Centers program (CFDA 93.155). The award funds establishment of the Crete Family Medicine Residency Program, a new rural residency training track launching July 1, 2029, with an initial cohort of two residents expanding by two annually to reach six residents by the third year. The program operates through an integrated urban-rural training model: Crete Area Medical Center, a critical access hospital, serves as the primary rural training site, while Bryan Medical Center functions as the primary tertiary training site in an urban setting. Expected program accreditation is July 2028, with place of performance in Lincoln, Nebraska and award period through July 31, 2029. Lincoln Medical Education Partnership serves as the ACGME sponsoring institution.

The bulk of Bryan Medical Center's federal footprint stems from sub-award activity. Of 72 total awards across the source data spanning from 1998 through August 2026, 46 are sub-awards (64%). Sub-award work is concentrated in COVID-19 pandemic response and clinical labor reimbursement flowing primarily from the Department of Military Nebraska, with dates spanning 2020 through 2024. The source also documents sub-awards from the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska under a functional genomics research network, a cybersecurity enhancement award from an unnamed federal grantor, the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services for emergency preparedness and response connectivity, and historical COVID-19 testing and treatment reimbursements.

Customer concentration is heavily skewed toward FEMA. The Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards program accounts for 43 of the 72 awards (covering 83% of the award count), though dollar magnitudes for FEMA awards are not specified in the potential-value ranking. The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration and its Bureau of Health Professionals together account for 11 awards. The Department of Veterans Affairs, Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education, and Department of Justice Bureau of Prisons round out the customer set. The combined potential value across all awards is $13.7 million, but combined obligated dollars reach $59.2 million (431% of potential value), indicating substantial invoicing against the award base. Bryan Medical Center's category concentration aligns with its hospital structure: the top NAICS is General Medical and Surgical Hospitals (7 awards), with Nursing Care Facilities and Ambulance Services comprising the remainder. Primary PSC coding is Medical-Managed Healthcare (10 awards).

Recent activity shows concentration in 2024, with 30 awards that year, versus four in 2023, three in 2025, and two in 2026, suggesting episodic or project-specific federal funding flows rather than sustained contract vehicles.
