About the company
University of Ottawa, a Canadian public research institution, acts as a prime recipient of federal research grants and as a sub-recipient in collaborative federal-funded research projects, with no federal prime contractor activity. The institution receives funding across biomedical research, materials science, physics, and defense-relevant basic science from the Department of Defense research agencies and the Department of Health and Human Services.
University of Ottawa's federal grant footprint centers on health and defense research. Prime grant awards include a $1.098 million three-year grant from the Department of the Army Medical Command (awarded June 2022, completing June 2025) supporting research into cellular and molecular mechanisms of altered brain metabolism in autism mice for earlier diagnosis and treatment; a $299,760 award from the Defense Health Agency under the Military Medical Research and Development program (CFDA 12.420, August 2025 through August 2027) focused on harnessing innate lymphoid cells to enhance immunotherapy efficacy in ovarian cancer; and a $106,970 award from the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory (CFDA 12.800, July 2026 through July 2029) investigating the time response of electronic matter measured by X-ray spectrum emission and electron behavior. Additional recent prime awards address detonation mechanics, histone deacetylase inhibitors for genetic syndromes, and quantum electronics interfaces, with work performed at the institution's Ottawa, Ontario campus and subordinate research facilities at 2323 Riverside Drive, Ottawa.
Customer concentration is skewed toward health research agencies. The Department of Health and Human Services Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality accounts for 11 awards ($5.4 million combined potential value), the National Cancer Institute for 6 awards, and the Air Force Materiel Command Research Laboratory for 5 awards, together covering 51% of all awards and 81% of combined potential value across the portfolio. University of Ottawa sub-receives on collaborative projects anchored by Brown University (bladder cancer modeling and cost-effectiveness analysis spanning multiple sub-awards from 2022 through 2025), the University of Colorado (myelination and motor behavior research), Baylor College of Medicine (tuberculosis preventive therapy cost-effectiveness), and other leading research institutions.
The institution's recent activity shows acceleration — two awards in 2026, nine in 2025, five in 2024 — but the combined potential value ($6.8 million across 55 total awards) and obligated dollars ($16.4 million) reflect the long timeline and modest individual grant magnitudes characteristic of academic research funding. Four awards face completion within the next twenty-four months. University of Ottawa sits on an Indefinite Delivery Contract vehicle (290020021) with seven task orders ($4.3 million) and an Evidence-based Practice Centers III vehicle with four task orders ($2.3 million), both anchored to AHRQ work in health services research and comparative effectiveness analysis. The institution operates across 23 distinct federal customer agencies, with NAICS concentration in Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services and Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities.
