About the company
Sanford Research North, a tax-exempt non-profit research organization headquartered in Fargo, North Dakota, is a subsidiary of Sanford Research and operates as a federal grant recipient (prime grantee on 22 of 29 recent awards, or 76%) conducting biomedical and behavioral health research funded primarily by the National Institutes of Health and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration.
Sanford Research North's grant portfolio centers on behavioral health and eating disorder research, with a secondary focus on trauma-informed care delivery. Recent prime grant work includes a $885,500 Project Grant from the National Institute of Mental Health (CFDA 93.242) awarded March 5, 2026, through March 4, 2028, to identify reward-related processes underlying binge-eating disorder using electroencephalography and ecological momentary assessment; a grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) awarded September 15, 2024, through August 31, 2029, investigating the microbiome-gut-brain axis as a mechanism for alcohol use disorder following bariatric surgery; and a grant from the SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services awarded September 30, 2023, through September 29, 2028, supporting the Treatment Collaborative for Traumatized Youth (TCTY), housed within Sanford Research North, to reduce barriers and expand access to trauma-focused, evidence-based treatments for children and families in North Dakota via telehealth. An earlier NIAAA grant (September 16, 2022, through August 31, 2025) investigated reinforcement as a prospective predictor of alcohol abuse following bariatric surgery, and a National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases grant (September 21, 2021, through May 31, 2025) examined biobehavioral factors driving stress-related eating in obesity.
The Department of Health and Human Services accounts for the entire customer base across its subsidiary agencies. Within HHS, the National Institutes of Health dominates the award count (6 awards), while NIH's National Institute on Drug Abuse and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences each carry 4 awards. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration rounds out the top tier with 4 awards. In its subgrantee role, Sanford Research North has received sub-awards from the University of North Dakota (supporting the Translational Science Engaging North Dakota clinical and translational research center) and the North Dakota Department of Human Services (on Comprehensive Community Mental Health Services for Children with Serious Emotional Disturbances and Maternal and Child Health programs).
Activity has grown from one award in 2022 to five in 2024, then declined to two in 2025 and one in 2026. Two awards carry completion dates within the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete exposure in that window. The combined potential value reported across all 29 awards is $254 thousand; however, combined obligated dollars stand at $65.4 million, indicating substantial prior-year funding that has been fully obligated. Sanford Research North operates within Sanford Research's non-profit research structure and does not hold federal contract vehicles.
