About Lafayette College
Lafayette College, a tax-exempt private research university based in Easton, Pennsylvania, operates as a prime recipient of federal research grants from the National Science Foundation, the National Institutes of Health, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Air Force Research Laboratory, with 95% of recent awards as prime grants and the remainder as sub-recipient awards under collaborative research programs. The institution does not hold federal contracts and competes exclusively in the grant space, receiving funding across biology, chemistry, earth sciences, mathematics, engineering, education research, and humanities domains.
Lafayette's customer concentration is heavily anchored to the National Science Foundation, which accounts for 44 awards across multiple divisions including the Division of Earth Sciences, the Division of Mathematical Sciences, the Division of Chemical, Bioengineering, Environmental, and Transport Systems, and the Division of Materials Research. The Department of the Army follows with 25 awards, primarily under basic ordering agreement DAKF4076A0055 (nine task orders), though these sit outside the primary research footprint visible in the grant awards listed. The National Endowment for the Humanities rounds out the top three with 12 awards. Across all funding sources, Lafayette serves 32 distinct customer agencies. Recent NSF-funded research examples include a $294,443 project grant from the Division of Integrative Organismal Systems (CFDA 47.074) to develop miniaturized temperature sensors embedded in 3D-printed artificial eggs for studying nestling development in songbirds (awarded February 2026, completion January 2029); a $250,000 project grant from the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) examining the geometry and topology of dual Artin groups with applications in physics and cryptography (awarded January 2026, completion December 2027); and a $476,890 NSF Geosciences project grant (CFDA 47.050) investigating subglacial silicic magma systems beneath Iceland's Vatnajökull ice cap (awarded August 2022, completed July 2025).
Activity has declined modestly from nine awards in 2022 to three awards through 2026, with three awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. The institution also operates as a sub-recipient on collaborative research awards with Northeastern University on sensorimotor integration neuroscience research, with West Virginia University and Oregon State University on the NANOGrav Physics Frontiers Center, and with Columbia University on undergraduate project design and community college outreach. Lafayette's grant portfolio centers on fundamental research in the natural sciences and mathematics integrated with undergraduate student mentoring and involvement, reflecting its primary mission as a research-active liberal arts college.
