California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc.

California State University, East Bay Foundation, Inc., a non-profit foundation and federally recognized Hispanic-Serving Institution and Asian American/Native American/Pacific Islander-Serving Institution based in Hayward, California, operates as a prime recipient of federal research grants and educational support funding from civilian agencies, with no federal contract prime awards in the recent portfolio.

The foundation's federal footprint centers on peer-reviewed research and educational capacity-building grants across STEM disciplines, student support services, and climate-related science. Recent representative work includes a $165,441 NASA research grant (awarded January 2024, completion January 2027) to develop an alkalinity and inorganic blue carbon monitoring system quantifying wetland-to-ocean lateral carbon fluxes for carbon markets and inventories; a $506,149 NSF Division of Research on Learning award (September 2026, completion August 2031) examining cognitive barriers and scaffolding interventions for multivariable interactive thinking in science education; a $274,271 NSF Division of Undergraduate Education award (October 2026, completion September 2029) testing psychosocial interventions ("Kind Statistics Acts") to improve student wellbeing and statistics performance; a $1,037,584 NSF Division of Environmental Biology award (August 2026, completion July 2031) investigating evolutionary genetics of amphibian chytrid disease in hybrid zones in the Atlantic Forest; and a $915,786 EPA Region 9 award (January 2024, completion December 2027) supporting culturally responsive water and land use initiatives with indigenous communities in the San Francisco Bay area, with sub-awards to Contra Costa Resource Conservation District and Mak-'amham/Cafe Ohlone Tribal Members.

Customer concentration is spread across science and education agencies. The Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education leads by award count with 20 awards, followed by the National Science Foundation at 16 awards. NSF's Division of Physics (9 awards), Division of Research on Learning in Formal and Informal Settings (6 awards), and other NSF divisions account for the majority of recent activity. NASA's Shared Services Center holds 8 awards worth $387,000 combined potential value. The top five customer agencies represent 41% of all awards across 46 distinct agencies.

The foundation acts as a prime recipient in 85% of its awards (123 of 145) and as a sub-recipient in 15% (22 awards). Sub-award relationships include partnerships with Fordham University (supervising data collection for nutrition and food-security epidemiology research), University of California Santa Barbara (bridge program infrastructure for low-income statistics and data science students), the Regents of the University of California (speech-language pathology and cognitive assessments, integrated behavioral health stipend programs), the Allen Institute (connectome-based educational modules), and California State University Long Beach Research Foundation (public health IT workforce training under CCPHIT).

Award activity peaked in 2024 with 20 awards, declining to 16 in 2025 and 7 through early 2026 in the source snapshot. Fourteen awards representing $165,000 in combined potential value face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating recompete opportunity for similar NSF STEM education, NIH/NIGMS biomedical science, and EPA environmental stewardship funding lines. The foundation's total federal footprint across the source history (145 awards) carries combined potential value of $551,000 against $274.1 million in obligated dollars — the high obligated-to-potential ratio reflects mature, multi-year grant awards well into performance.
