About the company
Coppin State University, a historically Black college and university (HBCU) based in Baltimore, Maryland, serves as a prime recipient of federal research and education grants across STEM disciplines, workforce development, and institutional capacity-building programs. The university operates as a state-controlled institution within the University System of Maryland and competes for federal funding as a public higher-education entity eligible for HBCU-focused grant programs and research initiatives.
Coppin State's recent federal grant footprint spans research infrastructure, STEM education, and community workforce development. Representative prime grants include a $2.554 million Department of Energy award (CFDA 81.087, Renewable Energy Research and Development) running through June 2028 to establish the Center for Nanotechnology and develop lead-free nanomaterials for solar cells, batteries, and clean energy applications, paired with Ph.D. program development in Nanoscience and Advanced Polymers and workforce training in solar installation for Baltimore youth. The university also received $1.331 million from the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education under Title III Part F (CFDA 84.031, Higher Education Institutional Aid) through September 2027 to strengthen institutional management and academic quality, and $400,000 from the National Science Foundation Division of Human Resource Development (CFDA 47.076, STEM Education) running through July 2028 to establish an evidence-based forensic science education model with career preparation pathways for undergraduates. Additional named awards include a $300,000 NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships grant (CFDA 47.084) for the HBCU-ASPIRE consortium addressing research infrastructure impediments across four HBCUs, and a $1.5 million Department of Education Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education (FIPSE) award for expanding online general education access.
Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education, which accounts for 10 of 24 awards tracked (covering 77% of recent activity by count). The Department of Health and Human Services Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration follows with 6 awards, the National Science Foundation with 5 awards combined across its main office and Office of Integrative Activities, and the Department of Education Office of Elementary and Secondary Education with 3 awards. Dollar concentration aligns closely: the largest single award is the $2.554 million Department of Energy Center for Nanotechnology grant. Combined obligated dollars across all tracked awards total $62.3 million.
Coppin State operates as a sub-recipient on parallel education and health workforce pathways. The university receives recurring sub-awards from the Maryland Department of Health as part of the Maxie Collier Scholars Program (7 sub-awards across 2023–2026 supporting health professions workforce development), holds a $215,284 sub-award from North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University for semiconductor waste remediation research and student mentoring, and participates in a World Learning Inc. subaward under the U.S. Department of State's Increase and Diversify Education Abroad for U.S. Students (IDEAS) Program to expand study abroad capacity.
Activity has declined year over year after a 2023 peak of 10 awards (2022: 4 awards; 2023: 10 awards; 2024: 6 awards; 2025: 5 awards; 2026: 2 awards to date). Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and will encounter recompete.
