Regis University

Regis University, doing business as Regis University Corp, is a private, tax-exempt Catholic university based in Denver, Colorado, that operates as a federal grant recipient focused on undergraduate STEM education, research infrastructure, and educational program development. The institution is designated a Hispanic-Serving Institution and Minority Institution; it does not hold federal contracts or IDVs, only grant awards where it serves as prime recipient (95% of recent awards) or sub-recipient on collaborative research projects.

Regis University's federal grant portfolio concentrates on NSF-funded undergraduate STEM education and research initiatives, particularly under the Division of Undergraduate Education's Improving Undergraduate STEM Education: Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSI) program (CFDA 47.076). Recent prime grants include a $499,908 award (October 2025–September 2028) supporting the Regis Research Fellows Program, which combines course-based undergraduate research, paid summer faculty-mentored research placements, academic-year mentoring, and paid learning assistant roles to improve retention and success in biology among undergraduate students; a $200,000 educational instrumentation award (October 2025–September 2029) funding acquisition of thermocyclers, qPCR machines, microscopes, and a confocal microscope to strengthen molecular and cell biology coursework for approximately 690 undergraduate students and 12 faculty annually; and a collaborative curriculum-development award led by George Washington University and Rochester Institute of Technology to create course materials in "Continuous Structures" — a mathematics course designed to prepare computer science undergraduates for AI, data science, and machine learning coursework. Regis also holds a $436,760 grant (October 2025–September 2026) from the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education under the Transition Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities program (CFDA 84.407) to operate an inclusive postsecondary transition program, and a $200,000 NSF award supporting a faculty-mentored summer research program targeting first- and second-year Latinx students in life sciences. In its sub-recipient role, Regis collaborates with the University of California, Davis on cognitive assessment and gerontology research, with Regis serving as a data-collection site and researcher-training hub for studies assessing approximately 60–70 participants over multiyear periods.

The vendor's customer base is dispersed across 28 federal agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 30% of awards, led by the Air Force Air Education and Training Command (8 awards, $23 thousand combined potential value) and the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration networks (5 awards, $39 thousand combined potential value), with the Department of Education, NSF Division of Physics, and NIH following. The dollar ranking diverges slightly: the Veterans Affairs networks anchor the top tier by potential value ($39 thousand and $16 thousand respectively), reflecting multi-site clinical research collaborations, while the Air Force and Navy contribute smaller individual amounts. Recent activity shows acceleration — one award in 2022 and 2023 respectively, two in 2024, and five in 2025 — though the most recent award appears dated today (October 15, 2026). Only one award reaches ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, creating minimal recompete exposure in the immediate window. The institution carries no federal contract vehicles and does not compete for procurement dollars; its revenue derives entirely from federal grant programs with emphasis on education and scientific research infrastructure tailored to undergraduate-serving, minority-serving institutional priorities.
