Dekker Job

Dekker Job is a federal grant sub-recipient providing research support services to academic health institutions receiving NIH and Defense Health Agency funding. The vendor operates almost exclusively as a sub-recipient (75% of recent awards) rather than as a direct grant recipient or contract prime, with a four-award footprint concentrated in medical research spanning basic science, clinical, and epidemiological domains.

Dekker Job's customer base splits among three federal agencies — the National Institutes of Health's National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), the NIH's National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), and the Defense Health Agency — each accounting for one award in the recent portfolio. The vendor's sub-recipient role positions it within larger academic research programs at Cornell's Weill Medical College, the University of Massachusetts Lowell, and the University of Pittsburgh. Representative work includes facilitation of clinical and computational research coordination for emphysema and lung fibrosis research under a Weill Medical College NHLBI grant (awarded September 2025); support for social determinants of behavioral health research using EHR and natural language processing analysis under a University of Massachusetts Lowell NIDA grant (awarded May 2025); and basic endothelial signaling research support under a University of Pittsburgh grant (awarded January 2024). The combined potential value across all four awards in the source data totals $2 thousand, though actual obligated dollars total $193 thousand, indicating invoiced sub-award work substantially exceeding initial budget estimates. Activity has been episodic — one award in 2007, one in 2024, and two in 2025 — with no apparent recompete cliff or sustained vehicle position. The vendor's category concentration sits in R&D and basic research support services.
