ITHACA — GrammaTech, Inc., an Ithaca–based software company specializing in software-assurance and cyber security, announced that it has recently won more than $8.25 million in research contracts from government agencies.
In the past four months, the company submitted eight proposals, six of which have been selected for funding, GrammaTech said in a news release. The remaining two proposals are still pending. The company didn’t specify the government agencies from which it received the contracts.
But over its 25-year history, GrammaTech has performed sponsored research for many branches of the U.S. government, including the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Institute of Standards and Technology, and the National Science Foundation, the company says.
