About the company
University of Connecticut's Office Sponsored Programs (UConn OSP), a non-profit research administration office within a 1862 land-grant public university, administers federal research grants and contracts as a prime recipient across civilian science agencies, the Department of Defense, and health-focused federal programs. The office operates as a child entity of the State of Connecticut and does not compete for contracts or hold commercial certifications; instead, it serves as the institutional infrastructure enabling faculty-led research across UConn's campuses, primarily in Storrs and subsidiary locations.
UConn OSP's federal footprint spans 3,921 awards (3,550 prime, 371 sub) with a combined potential value of $156.7 million and obligated dollars of $2.75 billion across 221 distinct customer agencies. The office's work concentrates in fundamental and applied research: the top five funding sources—National Science Foundation (831 awards), USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture (272 awards), NOAA (134 awards), NIH (129 awards), and NIFA (127 awards)—account for 38 percent of the award portfolio. Recent activity shows 240 awards in FY2025 and 140 through mid-FY2026, with 299 awards (combined potential value $19.1 million) due for completion within the next twenty-four months, creating significant recompete exposure across the research portfolio.
The research portfolio reflects institutional strengths in agricultural sciences, marine and environmental systems, biomedical research, and engineering. Representative prime contract work includes five FDA-funded research definitive contracts (totaling $5.4 million) awarded September 2026 addressing pharmaceutical development and regulatory science—including mechanistic insights into oligonucleotide immunogenicity, levonorgestrel intrauterine system modeling, and nano-suspension characterization. A $251 thousand Secret Service purchase order (September 2026) funds K-12 behavioral threat assessment and management guidance development. The office also administers substantial federal grant portfolios across NIH programs (cancer, neuroscience, infectious disease, and aging research), NSF research initiatives (engineering, computer science, mathematics, and ocean sciences), and USDA agricultural research addressing food security, sustainability, and animal health.
Recent major awards illustrate the office's research scope: a $25.3 million five-year cooperative agreement from SAMHSA (September 2025) to operate the National Technical Assistance Center for Child, Youth, and Family Mental Health; a $7.5 million NSF cooperative agreement (August 2026) to establish and operate the NSF Quantum Technologies Engine in Connecticut; a $2.87 million NOAA cooperative agreement (October 2025) for Long Island Sound research and competitive research program administration; and a $1.25 million Office of Naval Research grant (August 2026) for the Building Partnerships in Academic Shipbuilding Initiatives. Federal grant work encompasses Project Grants, Cooperative Agreements, and Formula Grants spanning NIH research programs (CFDA 93.xxx series), NSF research and education programs (CFDA 47.xxx series), USDA agricultural research and extension (CFDA 10.xxx series), DOE research (CFDA 81.xxx series), and NOAA coastal and ocean programs (CFDA 11.xxx series).
On federal service contracts captured in SCI (Service Contract Inventory), the office reported $7.7 million in invoiced revenue across FY2022–FY2025, with peak activity in FY2025 ($2.6 million across 8.5 FTEs). Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable contracts range from a 10th percentile of $50.30/hr to a median of $115.89/hr and a 90th percentile of $233.46/hr, reflecting a mix of administrative, research support, and specialized technical labor. The office engages subcontractors on approximately 16 percent of prime-contract hours across 19 named subs, indicating reliance on external research partners and specialized service providers to deliver institutional research capacity.
The office operates primarily through single-award and multiple-award IDIQs, BOAs, and delivery order vehicles issued by federal agencies; it does not hold GSA Schedule positions or sit on government-wide acquisition contracts. All work is performed without set-aside restrictions—UConn is a state-controlled institution ineligible for small-business or disadvantaged-business certifications. The university's role is to serve as prime research recipient and grant administrator, channeling federal funding to faculty researchers and graduate students while managing compliance, reporting, and institutional oversight on behalf of the federal government. Subsidiary entities including the UConn Health Center (Farmington, Connecticut) and Connecticut Sea Grant function within the institutional structure and receive sub-awards under OSP-administered federal grants.
