About the company
East Carolina University, a state-controlled public research university headquartered in Greenville, North Carolina, operates as a prime recipient and contractor across federal research, education, and training programs, with 82% of its 1,010 federal awards in the past five years coming as prime awardee roles rather than as subrecipient. The university holds no SBA certifications; it competes full-and-open across all customer agencies without set-aside designation.
ECU's federal footprint is concentrated in basic research, applied research, and educational delivery spanning health sciences, environmental and coastal sciences, STEM education, and workforce development. The university executes work across 146 distinct federal customer agencies, though concentration is modest—the top five agencies (National Science Foundation, National Institutes of Health, Health Resources and Services Administration, U.S. Special Operations Command, and NASA) together account for roughly 29% of recent awards by count. By potential value, the portfolio skews toward smaller awards; combined potential value stands at $156.3 million across 1,010 awards, though obligated dollars ($625.3 million) exceed potential value four times over, reflecting completion of many awards and reobligations. The top parent vehicle is a Basic Ordering Agreement with the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (60 task orders, $2.8 million combined potential value), under which ECU delivers educational, research, and technical services to the Department of the Navy through April 2035.
Representative recent prime work includes a $1.669 million cooperative agreement from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (October 2025) to verify, characterize, monitor, and model multi-species fish spawning aggregations in federal waters of the Gulf of America, with sub-recipients the Nature Conservancy and Sustainable Marine Solutions, LLC; a $1.875 million SAMHSA grant (September 2025) to expand substance use and mental health treatment capacity in rural Eastern North Carolina across an eight-county region; a $1.162 million NIH NIGMS award (April 2026) investigating mechanistic studies of metal ion-induced transthyretin misfolding and toxic oligomer formation relevant to ATTR amyloidosis; and a $509 thousand NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site award (November 2026) providing coastal resilience research opportunities for undergraduate students nationwide.
Across its grant portfolio, ECU executes work as recipient under the NSF Geosciences program (CFDA 47.050), NSF Education and Human Resources program (CFDA 47.076), NSF Engineering program (CFDA 47.041), NIH National Institute of General Medical Sciences (CFDA 93.859), NIH National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (CFDA 93.855), NOAA ecosystem restoration programs (CFDA 11.451), SAMHSA substance abuse treatment programs (CFDA 93.243), HRSA nursing workforce programs, EPA pollution prevention and environmental justice initiatives, and Department of Defense medical research programs. Recent sub-award activity names the University of Pittsburgh, University of Dayton, University of Miami, North Carolina State University, University of Florida, Duke University, and Baylor College of Medicine as prime recipients under which ECU performs biomedical research, engineering analyses, and clinical trial coordination tasks.
Activity has fluctuated—58 awards in 2022 rising to 83 in 2024, then declining to 42 through October 2026. Fifty awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months (combined potential value $195 thousand), representing moderate recompete exposure. The university's awards cluster in leased office space and facility use (44 awards, NAICS lessors of nonresidential buildings), educational service delivery (23 awards related to tuition and training fees), and basic research in physical and life sciences. Work is performed primarily in Greenville, North Carolina, with subordinate activities across coastal field sites, federal research facilities, and partner institutions nationwide.
