About the company
The Reed Institute, a Portland, Oregon-based tax-exempt nonprofit private college, serves as a federal research grant recipient (95% of recent awards) and holds one federal purchase order, delivering undergraduate research training and scientific inquiry across life sciences, mathematical sciences, and environmental observation.
The Reed Institute's federal footprint centers on NSF research grants anchoring fundamental science at a primarily undergraduate institution. The top customer by award count is the National Science Foundation with 21 awards, followed by the National Institutes of Health (10 awards) and NIST (6 awards). Recent representative grants include a $270,000 NSF Mathematical Sciences award (August 2026) for homotopy theory research with an undergraduate research component through the Collaborative Mathematics Research Group summer program; an $830,726 NSF Environmental Biology award (August 2026) for a five-year longitudinal study of hybridization in yellow monkeyflower populations in the Columbia River Gorge; and an $835,085 NSF Molecular and Cellular Biosciences CAREER award (June 2026) investigating bacterial manganese homeostasis through structural biology and undergraduate STEM training. NIH's National Institute of General Medical Sciences granted $430,383 (May 2026) for research into non-muscle myosin II contractility regulation. Recent NSF Biological Sciences grants also include an $901,045 award (August 2024) on genetic mutation variation and a $828,353 award (July 2023) examining PET plastic biodegradation by microbial consortia. The single federal contract award is a NOAA purchase order for atmospheric sampling services at Mount Bachelor, Oregon, valued at $69,203.16 and awarded September 2026 with performance through September 2028.
The Reed Institute acts as a sub-recipient on a smaller set of grants: University of Washington has issued two sub-awards (August 2025 and July 2024) for background ozone observation work at Mount Bachelor Observatory; University of Missouri System awarded one sub-grant (July 2024) for transcriptomic and epigenomic characterization of legume root nodule cells. A 2022 sub-award from the Oregon Military Department involved force-account labor pay.
Activity across the five-year window shows modest fluctuation — eight awards in 2022, declining to four in both 2024 and 2025, with six in 2026. The combined obligated dollars across all awards total $40.8 million against a combined potential value of $73 thousand, reflecting a preponderance of funded (closed or active) grants. Five awards face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, with combined potential value of $69 thousand. The Reed Institute's grant portfolio emphasizes research leadership at a resource-constrained undergraduate institution, with built-in mechanisms for undergraduate researcher participation, peer mentoring networks at other primarily undergraduate institutions, and NSF RUI (Research in Undergraduate Institutions) designations across multiple disciplinary grants spanning mathematics, biology, chemistry, environmental science, and STEM education research.
