About the company
Faculdades Catolicas, doing business as PUC RIO, is a non-profit private university based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that receives federal research grants from the U.S. Air Force, the Office of Naval Research, and the Department of State as a prime grant recipient (94% of recent awards). The institution does not hold federal contracts and operates as an international organization under U.S. federal grant programs rather than as a contracting entity.
PUC RIO's federal footprint centers on research sponsorship. The top five customer agencies account for 79% of recent awards, led by the Department of State Bureau of Public Affairs and the Department of the Air Force (seven awards each), followed by the Department of State Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, the Department of State Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs (five awards each), and the Office of Naval Research (three awards). The Air Force and Office of Naval Research awards fund materials science and physics research; recent prime grants include a July 2026 project grant for friction mitigation by anodic repulsion (completion June 2029), a September 2025 project grant for high thermal shock resistance and vis-IR transparency in A2M3O12-based ceramics for industrial windows and domes (completion September 2028), a September 2025 grant for solitonic-inspired resilient coordination of co-movement research (completion September 2028), and a June 2023 Air Force Research Laboratory grant for exploring optimization, learning, and robustness of distributed UAV swarm coordination in field experiments (completed May 2025). The Department of State awards fund educational and diplomatic initiatives, including a July 2024 project grant supporting the 19th International Symposium on Wireless Communication Systems and a September 2022 grant for air travel funding for EducationUSA advisors selected for the Western Hemisphere Affairs forum.
Activity has been modest and intermittent over the past five years—one award in 2022, two in 2023, two in 2024, three in 2025, and one in 2026—with combined dollars obligated across all 34 awards totaling $2.9 million. Only one award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. PUC RIO also participates as a sub-recipient under two grant awards from American Councils for International Education: ACTR/ACCELS, Inc. in January 2025 and March 2024, supporting the Collaborative Language Study Project. The institution's federal role is research and educational partnership rather than service delivery or product supply.
