Old Dominion University

Old Dominion University, doing business as Evms Health Services, is a state-controlled educational institution registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) since 2001. Located in Norfolk, Virginia, the organization is primarily engaged in medical education, clinical research, and specialized training services for federal government agencies. The university provides a wide range of contract and grant-based services to multiple federal agencies, specializing in medical examinations, clinical trials, research protocols, and educational support across various healthcare and scientific domains.

Through federal contract awards, Old Dominion University has consistently delivered medical training, examination, and research services to agencies such as the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Department of the Navy, and Bureau of Medicine and Surgery. The contract awards predominantly focus on tuition and fees for medical education, training medical students to perform medical examinations, and conducting specialized clinical trials. These contracts, which are typically firm fixed-price or cost-type, cover areas like contraceptive development research, women's reproductive health clinical trials, and medical student training. None of the contract awards utilized set-aside designations, indicating open competition.

Old Dominion University's federal grant awards demonstrate a diverse research portfolio spanning public health, medical research, and innovative healthcare solutions. Notable grant projects include studies on tobacco social media marketing's impact on adolescent risk perceptions, developing glycosylated RNAs as clinical targets for prostate cancer, evaluating community-led COVID-19 testing interventions, and investigating cannabinoid receptor signaling in lung injury. The grants have been awarded by agencies such as the Center for Tobacco Products, National Cancer Institute, Office of the Director, and Department of Education, covering research domains like cancer research, infectious disease, public health interventions, and medical education support.

The university holds a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, valued at $800,000 with a five-year performance period from May 1, 2024, to April 30, 2029. This BPA provides trained teaching associates to conduct initial training on male genitourinary examinations, female breast examinations, and pelvic examinations. The agreement was competitively awarded and supports USU's medical education and training mission, leveraging EVMS's extensive experience in clinical trials, research, and medical education services.
