About the company
The University Of Chicago, operating through its Comptrollers Office, is a private research university and non-profit educational institution that serves as a federal grant prime recipient (99% of recent awards) across 32 customer agencies, with particular concentration in biomedical research funding and space-science grants. The university operates as a child entity under the parent University Of Chicago corporate structure, headquartered at 5801 S Ellis Avenue, Chicago, Illinois.
The university's federal footprint is overwhelmingly concentrated in National Institutes of Health grant work. NIH accounts for 167 awards across the active portfolio — roughly 45% of all awards — with $84 million in combined potential value split primarily between the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases ($61.3 million across 4 awards) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases proper ($22.7 million across 3 awards). Representative NIH grant work includes prime research awards in immunology, infectious disease, and cancer genetics. Beyond NIH, the university holds 12 NASA awards ($2.5 million combined potential value through NASA Goddard Space Flight Center) for space-science basic research, 17 Department of Navy Office of Naval Research awards, and 13 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention awards totaling $646 thousand. The university also serves as a sub-recipient on NIH-funded grants managed by other prime grantees, including a March 2025 sub-award under the Regents of the University of Minnesota (Milk-Omics: Systems Biology of Human Milk) and two sub-awards under Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope (November 2024 and December 2023) where the university's cancer genetics and gastroenterology faculty provide site principal investigator and co-investigator roles in cancer risk assessment and precision oncology curriculum development.
The university's award portfolio is coded primarily under Periodical Publishers (36 awards), Book Publishers (13 awards), and Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools (10 awards) NAICS categories, reflecting institutional research dissemination and education; PSC-level coding emphasizes R&D-Space Science ($27 awards) and academic publishing support. The portfolio shows minimal recent activity — one award each in 2023, 2024, and 2025 — suggesting either a measurement or reporting lag in the underlying data rather than active current volume.
