About the company
The Scripps Research Institute, a tax-exempt nonprofit biomedical research organization headquartered in La Jolla, California, serves as prime recipient and sub-recipient on federal grants for fundamental and translational life sciences research, with particular concentration in infectious disease, vaccine development, aging, and chemical biology. The institute operates predominantly as a grant recipient rather than a contractor; roughly 92% of its 1,910 federal awards in the source data are prime grants, with no set-aside posture (all full-and-open competition). Scripps competes and succeeds across sixty-two distinct federal agencies, with overwhelming concentration at the Department of Health and Human Services and the National Institutes of Health (829 awards), especially the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (265 awards, $17.9 million combined potential value) and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (91 awards).
Scripps' concrete capability footprint centers on hypothesis-driven basic and applied research in molecular and structural biology, immunology, vaccine development, chemical synthesis, and computational biology. Representative work includes a $3.28 million NIAID cooperative agreement (2026–2031) to design and evaluate hepatitis C virus vaccine candidates using structure-guided engineering and cryo-EM; a $4.87 million NSF award (2026–2030) to establish and operate an AI-guided programmable cloud laboratory node for chemistry, integrating robotic automation, AI models trained on chemical reactivity, and open data formats for reaction discovery; a $1.62 million NIAID grant (2026–2031) targeting the polymerase and endonuclease activities of mammarenavirus L protein for hemorrhagic fever therapeutics; and a $2.61 million National Institute on Aging award (2025–2030) investigating mito-nuclear feedback mechanisms in mitochondrial and synaptic function related to Alzheimer's disease. The institute also pursues federal research support for training, conference hosting, infrastructure operation, and collaborative research-consortium participation (such as the B-HIVE HIV virion behavior center at Seattle Children's Hospital and the NIAID Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Response).
SCI-reportable federal service contracts (a partial and administratively distinct subset) show invoiced revenue of $4.6 million across FY2022–FY2025, with 7.0–21.1 FTEs per fiscal year. Government-paid rates on prime contracts ranged from $28/hr (10th percentile) to $223/hr (90th percentile), with a median of $142/hr. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed roughly 10% of contractor hours, with three named subs reported over the period. This SCI activity is confined to a small fraction of Scripps' federal footprint and does not reflect the institute's total enterprise revenue or federal funding scale.
Scripps' organizational scope extends across six academic departments and interdisciplinary research centers (including Calibr, the institute's translational drug-discovery enterprise). Teaming involves both prime-to-sub relationships (Scripps as prime with noted sub-recipients including the University of Pennsylvania, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, and Stanford University) and sub-recipient roles on prime grants held by other major research universities and consortia. The recompete cliff shows 123 awards reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, carrying $2 million combined potential value—a modest exposure reflecting the institute's research-award portfolio, which typically carries multi-year performance periods and steady-state renewal-grant management rather than the concentrated contract-expiration risk seen in government-service contractors.
