About the company
University of Alaska Fairbanks, through its Grants and Contracts Administration Division operating as Grants & Contracts, functions as a state-controlled, 1862 Land Grant research institution delivering federal research funding, Arctic and sub-Arctic geophysics, climate science, environmental monitoring, and STEM workforce development services as a prime recipient across 3,037 recent federal awards. UAF competes in full-and-open procurements without set-asides, positioning itself as Alaska's flagship public research university and the nation's premier Arctic research institution with specialized capabilities in permafrost science, seismic monitoring, marine ecosystems, and polar operations.
UAF's customer concentration reflects strong dominance by research grantor agencies. The National Science Foundation leads with 624 awards, while NASA (Shared Services Center) accounts for 423 awards carrying $103.5 million combined potential value. The Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued 267 awards worth $5.2 million combined potential value, and the Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture has made 240 awards. Together, these five agencies represent 52% of recent awards. NASA's concentrated funding share—driven by balanced science programs aligned with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine guidance and spanning lunar exploration, Earth science applications, space weather, and planetary defense—contrasts with NSF's higher volume but smaller per-award scale. This split signals that UAF anchors its research portfolio through both baseline NSF support and mission-driven NASA research partnerships.
Recent representative work demonstrates UAF's breadth across federal priorities. A $3.5 million NSF Cooperative Agreement awarded August 2026 established the Alaska Critical Mineral Accelerator to develop place-based innovation ecosystems for critical mineral discovery and domestic recovery in Alaska. A $1.84 million Office of Naval Research grant (February 2026) supports PISCES-A Phase 3, Pacific Infrastructure Supporting Continuous Engineering and Science in the Arctic, extending Arctic research infrastructure operations. A $2.73 million U.S. Geological Survey Cooperative Agreement (November 2025) funds the Alaska Earthquake Center to maintain and operate the Alaska Geophysical Network, delivering seismic data and metadata compliant with Advanced National Seismic System standards. A $3.41 million NASA Cooperative Agreement (February 2025) supports the Alaska Space Grant Program, delivering STEM engagement initiatives across 2025-2028. A $1.1 million U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center contract (April 2025) funded research on integrated systems for operations in polar seas, including reconnaissance and occupation of sea ice.
UAF operates the research vessel Sikuliaq as part of the U.S. Academic Research Fleet, with NSF providing cooperative agreement funding for multi-year ship operations (2025-2028) and shared oceanographic technical services supporting NSF-sponsored research missions in Arctic and Eastern Pacific waters. The institution also houses the Alaska Earthquake Center, Alaska Native Language Archive, University of Alaska Museum of the North, and the Alaska Center for Energy and Power—specialized research and educational infrastructure that anchors multiple federal partnerships and workforce development initiatives.
SCI-reportable federal service contract activity shows limited invoiced dollars in recent years: $1.9 million in FY2022 across 7.0 FTEs, with no reported SCI invoicing in FY2023 and FY2025, though 3.5 FTEs were delivered in FY2024-2025 across prime and sub roles. This pattern reflects UAF's primary positioning as a research grant recipient rather than a traditional federal services contractor. Median government-paid hourly rates on the limited SCI-reportable service work ran $132.37 per hour. Across SCI-reportable prime contracts, subcontractors performed approximately 3% of total contractor hours, signaling that UAF builds its federal research delivery capacity in-house rather than through extensive subcontracting.
Within the next twenty-four months, 187 awards carrying combined potential value of $67 million are scheduled for ultimate completion, indicating substantial recompete activity as research projects conclude and funding agencies re-issue awards through new federal research announcements. UAF's parent organization is University of Alaska Systems, a U.S. State Government entity with multiple campuses; UAF serves as the flagship institution and primary federal research recipient.
