About the company
The University of Wisconsin System, through its Office of Sponsored Programs Division operating as University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee (UWM), is a public research institution that serves as a prime recipient on federal research grants and contracts across scientific, engineering, behavioral health, and educational domains—delivering fundamental research, specialized technical services, and analytical support to 139 federal agencies and programs. UWM operates as a prime recipient on 907 of its recent 1,008 federal awards (90%), with the remainder as a subrecipient on larger grants, positioning it primarily as a direct federal research partner rather than a subordinate on third-party contracts.
UWM's federal footprint concentrates in research grants, with the National Science Foundation (313 awards), the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education (58 awards), and the National Institutes of Health (56 awards) anchoring the portfolio. Recent activity shows growth from 41 awards in 2022 to 64 in 2024, with 1,008 total awards in the source data. The combined potential value is $5.6 million across the portfolio, though obligated dollars total $788.7 million, reflecting substantial prior-year funding across ongoing research efforts. Within the next twenty-four months, 59 awards carrying combined potential value of $1.7 million face completion and therefore recompete opportunity. Representative prime grant work includes a $1 million NSF award (August 2025) for gravitational-wave observatory network data infrastructure, a $2 million NSF award (August 2025) for low-latency gravitational-wave search systems, a $755,173 project grant (January 2022) from a civilian agency for East African rift-valley mineralogy research as analog for early Mars aqueous processes, a $667,453 project grant for multi-scale precipitation prediction, and a $361,058 NSF CAREER award (August 2026) for fatigue crack propagation in metals using high-energy X-ray methods and machine learning.
UWM's capability portfolio spans fundamental and applied research across physics, astrophysics, materials science, biomedical sciences, environmental science, engineering, behavioral health, and education. Recent prime contract work includes a $249,781 purchase order (January 2025) from the Department of Defense's Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program for modified layered double hydroxide materials development for PFAS adsorption, and a $34,772 purchase order (April 2024) from the U.S. Geological Survey for research boat charter services on Lake Michigan supporting deepwater cisco reproductive ecology studies. UWM also operates a subcontract relationship with Battelle Memorial Institute on Pacific Northwest Laboratory management activities (awarded March 2023).
The institution competes in full-and-open federal research competitions rather than in set-aside categories; no SBA designations (8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB) apply to UWM as a state-controlled institution. Service Contract Inventory data for FY2024 shows minimal coverage (2 subcontractor records totaling 0.5 FTEs), reflecting that UWM's federal footprint is dominated by research and education grants rather than service contracts above the $150,000 SCI threshold.
