About the company
The Board of Trustees of the University of Illinois, operating as the University of Illinois with campuses across Illinois, is a state-controlled research institution and recipient of federal research grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements across biomedical, health sciences, engineering, physical sciences, and education domains. As a 1862 land-grant institution funded through NIH, NSF, VA, DOD, EPA, and other federal agencies, the University functions predominantly as a prime recipient of competitive research funding (83% of recent awards prime), with the remaining 17% as a subrecipient on collaborative projects, rather than as a federal contractor selling goods or services in the traditional procurement sense.
The University's federal footprint reflects its research mission. Recent awards total 5,548 across all sources spanning three decades, with 2024 showing 504 awards and subsequent fiscal years declining as older awards mature and complete. The combined potential value of all awards reaches $1.39 billion, though obligated dollars across the portfolio total $6.76 billion, indicating that many awards have been incrementally funded over their performance periods. Activity has been concentrated in research and development: the top NAICS categories are Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools (122 awards); General Medical and Surgical Hospitals (91); and Offices of Physicians (41). The top PSC codes reflect clinical and research services—Reference Laboratory Testing (61 awards), Support-Professional Other (54), and Health R&D Services spanning both applied and basic research (80 combined).
Customer concentration is moderate and heavily weighted toward research funding agencies. The top five customer agencies by award count account for 37% of recent awards: the National Institutes of Health (789 awards across all NIH components), the National Science Foundation (678 awards), NIH's National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (237 awards, $87.8 million combined potential value), NIH's National Cancer Institute (203 awards, $365 million combined potential value), and the Veterans Administration's Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 (161 awards, $36.1 million combined potential value). By dollars, concentration shifts toward NCI, NINDS, and NHLBI. These agencies dominate because the University anchors a major research medical center and graduate research enterprise with deep programs in cancer biology, neuroscience, cardiovascular health, infectious disease, and maternal and child health.
Recent representative work spans diverse research domains: the National Eye Institute funded development of a markerless motion-capture tool for assessing motor impairments in stroke survivors ($110,228); NCI funded precision liver cancer modeling through CRISPR editing of human hepatocytes ($412,249 through May 2028); NIAID funded a prospective clinical study on menstrual cycle changes in allergic rhinitis ($203,483 through August 2031); and NSF funded development of AI-enabled modeling for large-area additive manufacturing ($348,985 through July 2029). The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute awarded a single-award indefinite delivery contract valued at $21 million through November 2033 to support the Hispanic Community Health Study - Study of Latinos (HCHS-SOL) Chicago Field Center, demonstrating ongoing engagement on major longitudinal cohort studies.
The University operates as a research grant recipient, not a service contractor. SCI (Service Contract Inventory) reporting, which captures federal service contracts above the $150,000 threshold, shows only $10.1 million in invoiced SCI-reportable amounts across FY2022–FY2025 (FY2022: $2.5 million; FY2023: $2.4 million; FY2024: $2.7 million; FY2025: $2.5 million), with roughly 14–19 FTEs deployed annually on these reported contracts. Median government-paid hourly rates run $70.53/hr, with rates ranging from $12.10/hr at the 10th percentile to $200.26/hr at the 90th percentile, reflecting the mix of research support staff, clinical personnel, and specialized researchers. On prime contracts, subcontractors represent 8% of total contractor hours on average; six named subcontractors have been reported across the SCI dataset, indicating that the University builds its own delivery teams rather than relying heavily on subcontractor networks for these reportable services.
Recompete exposure in the next 24 months involves 386 awards with combined potential value of $17.5 million. The University's federal research portfolio is maintained through continuous receipt of new competitive awards and incremental funding of existing projects, with no material concentration on time-limited vehicles requiring recompetition in a narrow window.
