About the company
Pomona College, a private nonprofit educational institution based in Claremont, California, operates as a prime recipient of federal research grants from the National Science Foundation and related agencies, with no federal contract footprint. The institution competes in the full-and-open research grant market and does not hold SBA set-aside designations.
Pomona College's federal funding footprint centers on academic research and educational programming in geosciences, mathematics, chemistry, and life sciences. Representative recent work includes a $351,604 NSF Division of Earth Sciences grant awarded in August 2026 investigating Himalayan lineaments and earthquake rupture patterns in Nepal through remote sensing, field mapping, and geochronology; a $150,978 NSF Division of Chemistry grant for collaborative gas-phase molecular spectroscopy research to identify heavy element-containing molecules relevant to physics beyond the Standard Model, conducted with Emory University and running through September 2028; and a $285,236 NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences grant supporting research in operator theory, linear algebra, combinatorics, and probability theory with explicit emphasis on undergraduate student involvement. The institution also received a $1,704,632 NSF Integrative Activities grant to conduct a national survey on research development and administration functions at four-year colleges and universities, with Research Triangle Institute (RTI International) as a sub-recipient leading survey development and data analysis. Additional work spans oceanography, Hawaiian land snail conservation biology, mathematical conferences, and astronomy postdoctoral fellowship symposium support.
The National Science Foundation dominates Pomona College's customer base, accounting for 37 awards across all NSF divisions plus seven additional awards specifically through the Division of Mathematical Sciences and six through the Division of Earth Sciences — together representing 58 percent of recent awards. The Department of Health and Human Services National Institutes of Health and the Department of the Army each account for five awards. The institution holds four sub-awards from the University of Arizona and California's Office of Emergency Services, primarily for COVID-19 staff testing work and audio resource development for patient education.
Activity has grown from a low baseline of two to four awards annually in 2022–2023 to nine awards in 2024 and four in 2025, with two awards in 2026 as of the source date. Seven awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete opportunity. The combined obligated value across all awards reaches $31.4 million against a combined potential value of $329 thousand, reflecting NSF's standard practice of obligating incrementally against multi-year project grants rather than funding to ceiling on award issuance. Pomona College operates exclusively as a prime grant recipient, with 96 percent of awards in that role; sub-award engagement is minimal at 4 percent and consists of pass-through research funding to collaborating institutions.
