About the company
New York University (N Y U), a private research university headquartered in New York, delivers research, educational services, and training to federal agencies as a prime recipient across grants and contracts, holding positions on multiple indefinite-delivery vehicles and serving as a sub-recipient on federally funded collaborative research projects.
NYU's federal footprint spans 4,133 awards across 190 customer agencies, concentrated in research and education. The National Science Foundation dominates by award count (923 awards), while the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery leads by potential value ($16.2 million across 94 awards). NIH funding is substantial through the National Institute of Mental Health (118 awards) and broader NIH portfolio (189 awards). As a tax-exempt educational institution, NYU competes in full-and-open procurements without set-asides; no SBA designations apply.
Recent representative work spans federal contract and grant channels. On the contract side, NYU holds a $151 billion multiple-award IDIQ with the Missile Defense Agency under the Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program awarded January 2026, structured for task orders across research, development, and systems engineering for homeland defense. Smaller recent contracts include a $38.7 thousand Veterans Affairs purchase order for NICHE (Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders) membership and training (awarded September 2026, through August 2030) and a $210 thousand NASA Shared Services Center sole-source award for collaborative workspace at the Goddard Institute for Space Studies (July 2026 through June 2027).
Grant work reflects NYU's role as a leading research institution. The National Science Foundation has funded extensive projects in computing and information science: a $1.2 million grant on computational research reproducibility (awarded September 2026), a $639.9 thousand award for network architecture development for low-delay resilient systems (October 2026), and a $609.3 thousand grant on maize domestication genetics (August 2026). The National Institutes of Health supports biomedical and behavioral research, including a $3 million Defense Health Agency award for trauma-informed military family intervention research (September 2026 through August 2030), a $1.94 million NIDDK grant on adaptive dietary interventions for Asian Americans with type 2 diabetes (September 2025 through August 2028), and a $2.13 million NIGMS grant on long noncoding RNA structural dynamics (September 2025 through August 2029). The Department of Energy funded a $1.1 million collaborative research project on liquid-crystal interfacial transport (September 2026 through February 2028). NSF also funded CAREER-track awards supporting early-career faculty development across chemistry, biology, physics, and computer science domains.
Activity trended upward from 2023 through 2024 (240 to 332 awards) before moderating in 2025 (250 awards) and 2026 (155 awards). Within the 24-month recompete window, 272 awards carrying combined potential value of $3.2 million face ultimate completion, creating near-term opportunity for competitor pursuit.
SCI-reported invoiced revenue on federal service contracts above the $150 thousand threshold was $1.3 million across FY2023–FY2024 (no reportable FY2022 or FY2025 activity), reflecting 4.6 FTEs in FY2022, declining to 0.9 FTEs in FY2023 and 2.7 FTEs in FY2024. Hourly rates on SCI-reportable prime contracts ranged from $40.94 per hour at the 10th percentile to $3,388.69 per hour at the 90th percentile, with a median of $1,199.11 per hour, indicating a mix of research scientist and senior professional labor. SCI data is sparse and represents only service contracts above the threshold; it excludes grants, research agreements, goods, and classified work, so these figures understate NYU's total federal research and educational revenue substantially.
NYU operates as a prime on 88% of recent awards (3,654 primes) and as a named subcontractor on 12% (479 subs). As a subcontractor, NYU has engaged with research partners including the University of Delaware, Johns Hopkins University, Stanford University, and the University of Chicago on collaborative grant projects, typically contributing research expertise in specialized domains such as biomedical science, engineering, and public health. On the prime side, NYU frequently structures multi-institutional awards with sub-recipients at peer research universities. Grant sub-awards flow from NYU to institutions including Howard University, UCSF, Columbia University, MIT, Stanford, and the University of Pennsylvania, underscoring NYU's role as a leading tier-one research institution coordinating complex, multi-site federal research initiatives.
The SHIELD IDIQ represents NYU's largest vehicle position, representing a decade-long commitment to Department of Defense modernization and cyber-physical systems research. Smaller but active vehicles include Navy basic ordering agreements (N0014098G2499 with 60 task orders totaling $8.7 million, and N0018916GZ004 with 38 task orders totaling $8.7 million), reflecting ongoing research relationships with the Naval Research Enterprise and military medical centers including the Defense Health Agency and Bureau of Medicine and Surgery.
