Temple University

Temple University Health Science Center, a tax-exempt health science entity and subsidiary of Temple University of the Commonwealth System of Higher Education, acts primarily as a federal grant sub-recipient in neurodevelopmental disabilities training, biomedical imaging research, and clinical data collection programs rather than as a prime contractor. The parent institution, Temple University, is a Pennsylvania state-controlled institution of higher learning with federal contract and grant prime awardee status; Temple University Health Science Center operates within that parent structure and has generated six federal awards (two prime, four sub) totaling $51 thousand in combined potential value across the past fifteen years, with $765 thousand obligated — indicating realized revenue substantially exceeding the remaining unfunded potential.

Temple University Health Science Center's active work centers on federal grant sub-awards in life sciences and medical research. Recent sub-awards include a June 2026 Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) training grant sub-award from the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where the institution provides special education discipline leadership, recruits and mentors two graduate student trainees, and contributes 5% effort from the Principal Investigator; a July 2025 Collaborative Research in Computational Neuroscience (CRCNS) sub-award from the Regents of the University of Minnesota; a July 2025 National Science Foundation sub-award on memory distortion in aversive naturalistic events from the University of Oregon; and a November 2023 clinic-based multicenter amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) natural history data collection sub-award from the University of Minnesota. All four sub-awards route through academic prime recipients — the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, University of Minnesota, and University of Oregon — rather than through direct federal funding.

Customer concentration is diffuse across five agencies. The Department of Defense Education Activity anchors the two prime awards ($51 thousand combined potential value), while the National Science Foundation, the Health Resources and Services Administration, the Food and Drug Administration, and the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering each carry one sub-award. Work is categorized under Higher Education and Professional Schools NAICS codes. Temple University Health Science Center functions as a sub-recipient on federally-funded research grants and training programs, with no standing on federal contract IDVs or government-wide acquisition vehicles.
