University Of Arizona

University Of Arizona operates as a sub-recipient on federal research and development grants and as a subcontractor on federal research and development contracts, with 71% of recent awards positioned as sub-awards rather than prime grants or contracts. The university is a public research institution headquartered in Tucson, Arizona, with a sparse federal award footprint concentrated in research partnerships across civilian and defense agencies.

University Of Arizona's customer set spans five distinct federal agencies, though the portfolio is too small to support meaningful concentration analysis. The Smithsonian Institution Office of the Chief Information Officer, the Department of the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory, the Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance, the National Institutes of Health National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, and the Department of the Navy Secretary of the Navy Office of Naval Research each account for one or two awards in the source window. Recent sub-award work includes a June 2026 focal myocardial delivery research sub-grant from the University of Pittsburgh (a National Institutes of Health-funded research partnership on nitroalkene delivery for post-infarction ventricular recovery), Space Robotics Technologies research sub-grants from the University of Cincinnati (March 2026 amendment on cooperative and non-cooperative client servicing contact operations, tracking back to June 2025), a January 2024 transportation planning research partnership sub-grant from the City of Tucson, and an August 2025 research and development contract sub-award from Arete Associates.

Activity is episodic across the source window — one award in 2008, one in 2011, then a gap until 2024, with two awards in 2025 and two in 2026 — suggesting recent reactivation or improved capture visibility rather than sustained volume. The combined potential value across all seven awards is nominal ($10 thousand), though actual dollars obligated total $633 thousand, indicating that award values in the source capture system are underreported or that University Of Arizona's work scope carries invoiced revenue materially larger than contract ceiling values. University Of Arizona primarily participates in sub-recipient roles on National Institutes of Health and Department of Defense basic research grants, with occasional contract sub-work on applied research programs.
