Oregon Research Behavioral Intervention Strategies, Inc.

Oregon Research Behavioral Intervention Strategies, Inc., doing business as Influents Innovations, develops digital behavioral health and health literacy intervention tools for federal health research agencies as a prime grant recipient, with a singular small-value federal contract purchase. Based in Springfield, Oregon, the firm is structured as a for-profit corporate entity and acts as prime on 98% of recent awards—exclusively in the federal grant space—with one sub-award engagement.

The vendor's federal footprint is anchored in National Institutes of Health grant work. The National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities has awarded 12 grants; the National Institute on Drug Abuse has awarded 10; and the National Institute of Mental Health has awarded 8. Across these three NIH institutes, the vendor holds the majority of its federal relationships. The Department of Veterans Affairs Strategic Acquisition Center Frederick issued a single $80,000 purchase order on March 1, 2024, for MOMMOODBOOSTER subscription services under firm fixed-price terms with ultimate completion February 28, 2029. The combined obligation across all awards totals $49.9 million against a combined potential value of $97,000—a substantial difference driven by grant awards, where the source tracks obligated funds rather than ceiling values. The vendor's capability portfolio centers on evidence-based digital interventions delivered via web and mobile applications, frequently integrated with smart-speaker technology (Amazon Alexa and Echo devices) or animated video platforms. Representative grant work includes a $314,362 NIMH Phase I project award (September 1, 2026–August 31, 2027) to develop a digital evidence-based app addressing depression and subclinical depressive symptoms in youth; a National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Phase II grant (May 1, 2025–April 30, 2028) for Talk Parenting, a smart-speaker application for parenting education and family routine support; a $314,362 NIMH grant (August 1, 2025–July 31, 2027) for Parenting-Net, an unguided digital cognitive behavioral therapy intervention for parental depression in low-income households; and a National Institute on Drug Abuse grant (July 1, 2024–June 30, 2025) to develop technology-based solutions for substance use disorder support in supportive housing communities. The vendor has also received multiple awards from the National Institute for Minority Health and Health Disparities for health literacy applications targeting underserved populations—HealthyU-Native for Native American and Alaska Native secondary students, HealthyU-Latinx for Latinx English language learners, and Stem As I Am for Black middle school students. NIDA awards span parenting and home-visiting enhancement programs, including VisitBoost (Phase I and Phase II), a training and implementation support program to reduce stigma in home visiting services for families affected by substance misuse.

Activity has remained modest and variable—three awards in 2022, four in 2023, three in 2024, four in 2025, and one in 2026. Six awards face ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating near-term recompete exposure. The vendor holds a single sub-award relationship with the University of New Mexico (October 8, 2025 onward) as a collaborator developing a mobile and web-based app for healthcare provider training on non-pharmacological pediatric interventions. The federal footprint across all twelve customer agencies shows concentration within HHS NIH components; 77% of awards cluster in the top five customer agencies, predominantly health and mental health research funders with minimal exposure to other federal departments outside the contract purchase from Veterans Affairs.
