About the company
Rhode Island Natural History Survey, doing business as RINHS, is a tax-exempt nonprofit organization based in Kingston, Rhode Island, that provides natural resource monitoring, rare plant surveying, wetland assessment, and biodiversity database development services to federal environmental agencies as a prime grant recipient (86% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient on academic and state environmental management grants.
RINHS operates across environmental science and natural resource consulting work. Recent prime and sub-recipient work includes developing the Second Biota of Rhode Island Information System (BORIIS2) biodiversity database prototype under a Roger Williams University grant (2024), implementing wetland monitoring activities including vernal pool mapping and guidance development under a Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management grant (2024), and recruiting and supervising a 2026 Botany Fellow for rare plant site surveys across sixty locations in coordination with URI and Brown University under another Roger Williams University award (2026). The DEM grant work was amended in February 2026 to extend through December 2027 and to add $92,752 in funding for forest health monitoring in response to increased southern pine beetle and invasive species pressure.
Customer concentration centers on environmental agencies. The top five funding entities account for 76% of awards by count, led by the Department of Commerce National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (7 awards, $21 thousand combined potential value) and the Environmental Protection Agency (7 awards), with the Department of the Interior Fish and Wildlife Service, EPA Region 1, and FWS Region 5 rounding out active relationships. Activity is sporadic — one award in 2014, one in 2015, one in 2019, two in 2024, and two in 2026 — rather than sustained pipeline growth. Work is categorized across surveying and mapping services (5 awards) and environmental consulting services (5 awards), with task descriptions emphasizing field biology, ecological assessment, and data systems development for endangered species and natural resource management. RINHS has not held direct federal contract vehicles; all recent activity flows through grants administered by NOAA, EPA, and state environmental management partners or through academic intermediaries such as Roger Williams University and URI.
