About the company
Catalight Foundation, a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Walnut Creek, California, operates exclusively as a sub-recipient on federal research grants, with no prime contract or grant awards in its recent footprint. All three of Catalight's federal awards are sub-grants under National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) funding, flowing through university prime recipients; the vendor holds no seats on federal contract vehicles and does not pursue contracts as a prime contractor.
Catalight's grant work centers on behavioral health research and evidence-based intervention implementation in educational settings. The foundation serves as a sub-recipient on a March 2026 sub-award from UCLA for the Research Unit on Behavioral Interventions in Educational Settings (RUBIES) program, which evaluates the effectiveness of RUBIES versus educator psychoeducation for autistic children in public elementary schools and tests an organizational implementation strategy called Helping Educational Leaders Mobilize Evidence (HELM) to support sustained delivery of evidence-based practice for autistic children with co-occurring externalizing behaviors. Catalight also holds two sub-awards from the University of Washington's ALACRITY Center for Psychosocial Interventions Research, awarded in April 2025 and October 2025. Combined potential value across all three grants totals $217 thousand obligated, all funded through NIMH.
Activity remains nascent: two sub-awards in 2025 and one in 2026, all under a single customer agency (NIMH, under the Department of Health and Human Services). Catalight operates exclusively in the sub-recipient tier with no prime-contracting footprint or independent vehicle access, positioning it as a research partner to universities rather than a direct federal contractor. The foundation's mission and award pattern suggest focus on behavioral health research translation and implementation science rather than federal procurement-side service delivery.
