About the company
East Tennessee State University Research Foundation, doing business as East Tennessee State University, is a tax-exempt nonprofit research foundation and child entity of the Board of Regents Tennessee that operates as a federal grant recipient, funding academic research and regional economic-development projects across Appalachia and the Southeast. The foundation does not hold federal contract vehicles as a prime; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant awards and grant sub-awards from civilian agencies.
The foundation's recent award activity is sparse and sporadic. Across eight total awards (prime grants and sub-awards) spanning fifteen years in the source data, ETSU Research Foundation has received roughly $209 thousand in combined potential value, though obligated dollars total $1.1 million — a reflection of the source capturing only a slice of recent activity and the foundation's award timing. Activity is light: one award in 2011, one in 2014, one in 2023, one in 2024, and one in 2025. Prime grants account for 75% of the awards; two are sub-awards under the Indiana Department of Health's State Maternal Health Innovation and Data Capacity program (CFDA not provided in source).
Customer concentration is diffuse across four federal agencies. The Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration Veterans Integrated Service Network 9 dominates with four awards totaling $200 thousand in combined potential value — a network of VA hospitals in Tennessee and surrounding states. The Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration holds two awards (dollar magnitude not specified in source), the Appalachian Regional Commission holds one ($715 thousand project grant for a business incubator at ETSU Innovation Lab in Johnson City, Tennessee, running July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2027 under CFDA 23.002), and the National Park Service Southeast Region holds one ($9 thousand). The award portfolio spans colleges and universities, veterinary services, and professional development training under NAICS framing. ETSU Research Foundation's federal work is research-oriented and regionally focused, with no indication of active pursuit of federal contracts or contract vehicles.
