About the company
University of Alabama's Office For Sponsored Programs Division, a non-profit educational institution based in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, administers federal research grants and contracts as a prime recipient across multiple scientific disciplines, competing exclusively full-and-open with no set-aside designations. The institution manages a substantial prime federal grant and contract portfolio exceeding $60 million in potential value across 2,346 prime awards, with no subcontractor priming and minimal subcontract footprint (9% of awards).
The university's customer concentration reflects its role as a major research institution serving federal research sponsors. The top customer agencies by award count include the National Science Foundation (426 awards), the Department of the Army (284 awards), and NASA's Shared Services Center (128 awards, $13.9 million combined potential value). NOAA (47 awards, $9 million combined potential value) and the Office of Naval Research (21 awards, $1.1 million) round out the active set. Recent representative work spans basic science and applied research: a $2.39 million NSF ROSES grant for the Biomass Enumerator and Geochemical/Limnological Explorer (BEAGLE) project investigating Europa-analog environments (awarded December 2024); a $2.13 million NSF STEM Education award for the PrimaryAI Scale-Up project delivering AI curriculum to rural upper elementary students across Alabama, Indiana, and North Carolina (awarded September 2025); an $11.2 million Department of Education grant for Literacy Improvement Through Focused Tutoring (LIFT) serving high-need learners through July 2031 (awarded August 2026); and a $1.877 million Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration award to design and launch the Data Analytics Safety Hub (DASH) for commercial motor vehicle safety enforcement (awarded December 2025). The institution also holds positions on multiple Army IDIQs (DAAH0187D0021 with 118 task orders, DAAH0189D0134 with 46 task orders, DAAH0191DR002 with 31 task orders) and Air Force indefinite delivery contracts (F0160079D0236 with 52 task orders).
Activity has remained robust but varied year over year: 169 awards in 2023, 195 in 2024, declining to 130 in 2025 and 86 in 2026, with only 3 recorded in 2027 (an artifact of source currency as of October 15, 2026). Within the next 24 months, 171 awards carrying combined potential value of $5.8 million face ultimate completion and recompete exposure. The institution competes across federal research funding mechanisms including project grants (predominant), cooperative agreements, and formula grants; SCI-reportable service contract activity is minimal ($0 invoiced across FY2022–FY2025, with 14–16 FTEs recorded in FY2024–FY2025 across six prime and subordinate records). The award portfolio concentrates in defense research and development (247 PSC R&D awards), education and training (89 awards), space science (52 awards), and basic research across physical, engineering, and life sciences. The Office For Sponsored Programs Division operates Southern Research Institute as a subsidiary entity within the corporate structure. Federal agencies served span 220 distinct organizations across DoD, civilian research agencies (NSF, NASA, NIH, DOE), and program-specific customers (EPA, NOAA, FEMA, Department of Education, Department of Transportation).
