About Arkansas State University
Arkansas State University, operating through its Sponsored Programs Accounting Division and doing business as Arkansas State University-Jonesboro, is a U.S. state government educational institution that serves as a prime recipient of federal research and education grants across sixty distinct federal agencies, with subordinate campuses at Newport and Mountain Home. The university does not hold federal contracts but acts primarily as a grant recipient (91% of recent awards) and occasionally as a sub-recipient in consortia arrangements, with no set-aside posture—it competes on an open, full-and-open basis.
The university's federal footprint spans basic scientific research, infrastructure acquisition, workforce development, and applied agricultural science. Representative prime grants include a $10 million congressionally identified project grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (CFDA 11.617) to establish an advanced steel research center supporting regional steel manufacturing, a $719,800 National Science Foundation project grant (CFDA 47.074) for acquisition of analytical instrumentation—a UHPLC-TQ mass spectrometer and DESI imaging system—to support ecotoxicology and analytical chemistry research, a $605,140 Institute of Museum and Library Services National Leadership Grants award (CFDA 45.312) to develop the National Reptilian Immunology Database in partnership with nine zoos, and a $386,644 Department of Education Transition Programs for Students with Intellectual Disabilities project grant (CFDA 84.407) supporting transition services and postsecondary education for students with intellectual disabilities through the Consortium for Inclusive Postsecondary Education and Transition (CIPET). Additional recent work includes engineering research grants from NSF on anaerobic digestion pretreatment, plant-based oral biologics, and rice genetic improvement under the Agriculture and Food Research Initiative.
The top five funding agencies account for 32 percent of recent awards by count. The National Science Foundation leads with 38 awards, followed by the Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service (22 awards), the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education (15 awards), the Department of Agriculture National Institute of Food and Agriculture (14 awards), and the Department of Health and Human Services Health Resources and Services Administration (14 awards). Potential-value concentration is minimal—the top customers by dollar potential together represent only 1 percent of the university's combined potential value across all awards, reflecting the distributed, research-grant-focused nature of the university's federal footprint. The university also holds a basic ordering agreement (GSA BOA GS07B15618) with 57 task orders yielding $521 thousand in combined potential value, primarily for facility leases.
Activity has remained relatively flat in recent years (14 awards in 2022, 13 in 2025), with ten awards facing ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months and therefore subject to recompete. The university's award portfolio is categorized primarily as lessors of nonresidential buildings (58 awards), which reflects its core institutional role providing facilities and administrative infrastructure for federally funded research. Sub-recipient work occurs through partnerships with the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, the University of Arkansas, the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission, and Duke University on workforce development, biomedical research, water quality monitoring, and neuropsychiatric disease research. The university's grant work emphasizes student training and regional workforce development—particularly in STEM disciplines and underrepresented communities in the Arkansas Delta—alongside applied research in agricultural biotechnology, materials science, environmental conservation, and public health. As a state institution, Arkansas State University neither pursues nor holds federal contracts and operates entirely within the grant ecosystem, with research and educational capacity-building as its primary federal mission.
