About the company
University Of New England, a private non-profit research institution and Maine's largest private university located in Biddeford with a Portland campus, operates as a prime recipient of federal grants (87% of awards) and receives delivery orders from the Department of the Navy for tuition and fees supporting medical education for Navy healthcare professionals. The institution does not hold federal prime contracts but receives the preponderance of its federal funding through research grants from the National Institutes of Health, the National Science Foundation, and the Health Resources and Services Administration, alongside Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery tuition funding.
The university's primary federal revenue stream flows from the Department of the Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, which accounts for 33 awards totaling $5.4 million in combined potential value—representing roughly 71% of the institution's documented federal potential value. Recent Navy tuition delivery orders include a $348,784 order (July 2025) for fall term tuition and fees, a $299,110 order (January 2026) for medical education and training services, and a $242,474 order (February 2025) for spring term instruction. These awards flow under a Basic Ordering Agreement (N0018916GZ013) through which 40 task orders have been placed carrying $6.6 million combined potential value. UNE competes these tuition awards in full-and-open without set-aside designation.
Beyond Navy tuition work, UNE holds a substantial research grant portfolio spanning the National Institutes of Health, National Science Foundation, the Department of Commerce's National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Health Resources and Services Administration, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Representative research awards include a $390,500 National Institute of General Medical Sciences project grant (September 2026) for cell signaling complexity research using engineered protein materials; a $319,500 National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke grant (September 2026) for BRAIN Initiative tool dissemination; a $3.465 million NIST Congressionally-Identified Projects grant (September 2023) for construction of a permanent research pier at the Girard Marine Science Center; and a $285,630 NSF engineering award (October 2024) for integrin-mediated mechanotransduction research. UNE also receives NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program support, federal Rural Communities Opioid Response Program funding from the Health Resources and Services Administration, and Department of Interior Fish and Wildlife Service grants for coastal research activities. Recent grant activity spans pain neurobiology, musculoskeletal health, environmental health, polar science, marine biology, and healthcare workforce development.
UNE acts as a sub-recipient on 33 federal research grants, partnering with Boston University, Harvard College, Arizona State University, the University of Maine System, the University of New Hampshire, and Maine Department of Health and Human Services as prime grantees. Sub-award work includes participation in the Harvard School of Dental Medicine H-CREDENT collaborative clinical research program (recruiting dental students for practice-based research networks), co-investigator roles on reproductive epidemiology studies funded through Boston University, and participation in SNAP-Ed nutrition education programming through Maine DHHS.
Recent activity shows 11 awards in 2026 through September, 14 in 2025, 23 in 2024, 22 in 2023, and 13 in 2022, indicating modest growth with 19 awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore facing recompete. UNE's award footprint spans 58 distinct customer agencies. Federal dollars obligated across all awards ($252.6 million) significantly exceed combined potential value ($7.6 million), reflecting the institution's status as an established educational and research recipient managing multi-year performance commitments with drawdown-based funding execution rather than lump-sum upfront awards typical of some federal contractors.
