About the company
Ruhr-Universität Bochum, doing business as Dez. 1 - Abteilung Forschung, is a foreign government research institution based in Bochum, Germany, that serves as a prime recipient of federal research grants from U.S. agencies. The institution operates as a state-controlled institution of higher learning and does not hold federal prime contracts; all of its federal work flows through research grants and sub-grant awards.
Ruhr-Universität Bochum's federal footprint is modest and narrowly focused on basic and applied science research. Over the past eighteen years, the institution has received seven prime federal research grants totaling $3.5 million combined obligated value across five distinct federal customer agencies, with the most recent and largest award being a $150,000 three-year Basic and Applied Scientific Research grant from the Department of the Navy Office of Naval Research, awarded August 1, 2026, to conduct laboratory and field research on fouling of surfaces with different hydration states under dynamic shear conditions. The institution also holds three sub-grant awards from the University of Texas at Austin, totaling work on the physiology of ribosome rescue in bacteria dating from November 2022 through September 2025. Customer distribution is split between the National Institute of General Medical Sciences within the National Institutes of Health (three awards), the Department of the Navy and its Office of Naval Research (four awards combined), and the Department of the Air Force (two awards).
Award activity is sparse and episodic rather than sustained — one award in 2016, one in 2020, one in 2022, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with no visible growth trajectory. All work is performed in Germany with no indirect cost claims against U.S. grants. The institution does not maintain seats on federal IDIQs, GWACs, or BPAs and does not subcontract to federal prime contractors in any documented capacity in this record.
