About the company
University of Notre Dame DU Lac, Notre Dame Research division (Office of Research), is a private Catholic research university operating as a tax-exempt nonprofit that conducts federally funded research and development across science, engineering, life sciences, and mathematics as a prime recipient of grants and contracts. The university competes predominantly in full-and-open federal research competitions without set-aside designations, holding a diverse portfolio of 2,663 total awards (2,378 prime, 285 sub) worth $202.6 million in combined potential value, with $2.05 billion in obligated dollars across all sources from 1975 through January 2027.
Notre Dame's research capability spans fundamental and applied science across multiple disciplines. Recent representative work includes a $1.95 million National Institute of General Medical Sciences grant on enzyme reaction structure and dynamics using time-resolved crystallography; a $856,216 NIAID award on T cell allorecognition in transplant rejection; a $769,354 NIAID grant investigating Clostridioides difficile spore germination inhibitors; a $1.226 million NSF award on genetic redundancy and polygenic adaptation in natural populations; a $799,964 NSF grant developing human-centered interfaces for autonomous drone swarm supervision; and a $3.291 million Office of Naval Research grant supporting masters and STEM programs in hypersonic systems. The university also holds a $151 billion IDIQ ceiling under the Missile Defense Agency's Scalable Homeland Innovative Enterprise Layered Defense (SHIELD) program (awarded December 2025, performance through 2035) and a $1.370968 million Army Corps of Engineers Other Transaction IDV for modular lattice protective systems research (awarded March 2026).
Customer concentration centers on federal research agencies. The top five funding sources by award count—National Science Foundation (763 awards), NASA Shared Services Center (95 awards, $20.6 million), NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences (88 awards), National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (87 awards, $25.3 million), and National Institutes of Health broadly (84 awards)—account for 42% of all awards. By potential value, NIAID leads ($25.3 million across 87 awards), followed by NASA Shared Services ($20.6 million), Office of Naval Research ($3.2 million across 69 awards), Army Research Development and Engineering Command ($1.1 million across 37 awards), and Air Force ($280 thousand across 45 awards). Notre Dame operates primarily through Navy Basic Ordering Agreement N0018919GZ011 (3 task orders, $7.4 million combined potential value) and Navy Indefinite Delivery Contract N0014006G0040 (14 task orders, $27.6 million).
Activity has remained steady, with 152 awards in FY2023, rising to 216 in FY2024, then declining to 164 in FY2025 and 118 in FY2026. The recompete cliff within the next twenty-four months shows 198 awards valued at $6.4 million combined potential value reaching ultimate completion. Service Contract Inventory data is minimal (6 SCI-reportable records, all as named subcontractor across FY2022–FY2025, totaling approximately 0.7–2.0 FTEs annually), reflecting the university's primary role as a research and development recipient rather than a service contractor above the $150,000 SCI threshold.
Notre Dame subcontracts to other primes including Triad National Security, LLC (for Los Alamos National Laboratory management and operation competition, October 2025 and April 2026), Boeing (AI analog accelerator development, March 2026), HII Mission Technologies Corp (Army Research Laboratory photonics research, March 2025), and Honeywell Federal Manufacturing & Technologies (National Security Campus operations, January 2025). The university also serves as prime recipient with numerous sub-recipients spanning university partners (Penn State, Cornell, University of Washington, Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Indiana University, University of Florida, and others) and research consortia members. The corporate structure identifies University of Notre Dame DU Lac as the parent entity; Notre Dame Research (Office of Research) operates as the research division managing prime and sub award execution.
Notre Dame's federal footprint is research-intensive and non-set-aside, concentrating on basic and applied science, STEM education, and advanced technology development aligned with agency missions in health, space exploration, defense research, energy, and fundamental science across 172 distinct federal customer agencies.
