About the company
Fairfield University, a Connecticut-based private nonprofit educational institution, acts as a prime federal grant recipient in mathematics, health professions, K–12 STEM education, and workforce development, with no federal contract prime or subcontract exposure. The institution operates as a tax-exempt corporate entity based in Fairfield, Connecticut.
Fairfield's federal grant footprint centers on the National Science Foundation and the Department of Health and Human Services. NSF funding (16 awards) supports mathematical sciences research, K–12 STEM curriculum development, and cybersecurity education. Representative NSF grants include a $249,397 Project Grant for anti-Ramsey properties of graphs and combinatorics research (Division of Mathematical Sciences, September 2024 through August 2026); a $231,958 Integrated Experiences to Support Student Learning (IUSE) Level 1 grant for ethical AI curriculum development targeting undergraduate students (Division of Undergraduate Education, October 2025 through September 2028); and an upcoming $500,000 collaborative workshop on anti-Ramsey theory scheduled for August 2026 at Carnegie Mellon University, bringing together up to twenty researchers from liberal arts colleges, postdoctoral fellows, and graduate students. HRSA funds (18 awards) support nursing workforce expansion and autism care coordination research. The Department of Education (12 awards) primarily funds the Fairfield University Upward Bound Program (FY2022–FY2027), which serves first-generation and low-income students. The National Endowment for the Humanities (6 awards) and Veterans Affairs VISN 1 (5 awards) complete the active customer set.
Fairfield serves 28 distinct federal agencies. The top five account for 58% of recent award volume. Recent NSF activity also includes a $242,456 grant on nonuniformly hyperbolic and extended dynamical systems (Mathematical and Physical Sciences, September 2024 through August 2027) and a June 2024 collaborative grant on semiconductor curriculum development for high school students using AI and game-based modules, funded through the National Science Foundation's Developing and Testing Innovations program.
Activity has declined year over year, from five awards in 2022 to one in 2025 and three in 2026. Six awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete opportunities. Fairfield operates exclusively as a prime recipient on federal grants; the institution recorded eight sub-awards between 2022 and 2026, including placement of clinical students for the ANEW Grant (September 2026, Fairfield as sub-recipient) and a Connecticut Sea Grant 2024–2027 omnibus award through the University of Connecticut (July 2026). Combined potential value across all 98 awards is $466,000, though obligated dollars total $57.5 million, reflecting predominantly formula or continuation funding. The discrepancy between the small potential-value ceiling and the large obligated amount signals multi-year grants and training programs where annual obligation far exceeds the reported ceiling figure.
