About University Of Nottingham (The)
The University of Nottingham, a UK-based educational institution and not-for-profit research organization, conducts basic and applied scientific research for the U.S. Department of Defense and other federal agencies as a prime grant recipient, with a smaller footprint of training-materials contracts. The university operates as a research performer at its Nottingham, England facilities and holds no federal set-aside designations.
The university's federal capability portfolio centers on defense-relevant science across autonomous systems, materials engineering, power systems, cognitive neuroscience, and alternative fuels. Recent prime grant work includes a $125,000 three-year Basic Scientific Research award from the Army's Research Development and Engineering Command (RDECOM, CFDA 12.431) for multimodal visual foraging research (initiated April 2026, completion April 2029); a $150,000 Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program grant (CFDA 12.800) for compact solid-state pulsed power conversion research (July 2025–July 2028); and a $173,923.83 cooperative agreement from RDECOM (CFDA 12.431) for basic research from September 2021 through September 2024. Earlier Army cooperative-agreement work funded laser-powder bed fusion manufacturing of low-cost titanium for combat protective equipment. The university also fulfilled a $59,613.14 Department of the Air Force purchase order for Special Operations Forces training materials on women, peace, and security and countering human trafficking (completed September 2023). The Navy has awarded multiple grants on normative cooperation among autonomous agents and ammonia fuel scaling for expeditionary environments.
Customer concentration skews toward defense. The Department of the Navy leads by award count with 20 awards ($165 thousand combined potential value), followed by the Department of the Army (7 awards, $211 thousand), the Department of the Air Force (6 awards, $60 thousand), and RDECOM (5 awards). The top five customers account for 62% of recent awards. Defense agencies dominate the potential-value ranking as well, with the Army, Navy, and Air Force together representing 94% of combined potential value. Secondary customers include the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Standards and Technology.
The university acts as a sub-recipient on research grants anchored by U.S. academic primes. Recent sub-award work includes neuroimaging and brain-activity research under University of California Los Angeles and University of Michigan prime grants, molecular mechanisms research under SUNY, and human-trafficking prevalence analysis under Colorado Mesa University.
Activity is sparse and episodic: six awards in 2021, declining to two in 2022, then two in 2024, four in 2025, and two in 2026. Combined potential value across all 66 awards totals $561 thousand, though obligated funding ($29.7 million) substantially exceeds that figure, indicating long-running multi-year grants with annual invoicing. Only two awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The university's federal footprint is narrow to defense research institutions seeking international collaboration on fundamental science with long development timelines.
