Augsburg University

Augsburg University's Administrative Accounting Division operates as a federal prime recipient (93% of recent awards) and sub-recipient on federal grants and contracts, delivering tuition and educational services to Navy personnel and conducting NSF-funded basic research in atmospheric science, geosciences, and STEM education. The university is a private, tax-exempt nonprofit institution based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, operating under primary PSC codes for Education/Training (tuition and registration) and R&D services (basic research across atmospheric, geosciences, and biological sciences domains).

The division's federal footprint concentrates heavily in research grants and educational support rather than traditional contracting. The National Science Foundation leads by award count with 31 awards across multiple divisions (Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, Biological Sciences, Chemical and Bioengineering Sciences, Environmental Sciences, and Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences), followed by the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education with 14 awards, and the Department of the Navy with 8 awards combined across Bureau of Medicine and Surgery and prime Navy accounts. These three customer categories account for 72% of recent awards. NSF grants dominate dollar magnitude, with recent examples including a $307,710 Engineering award (CFDA 47.041) for characterizing interfacial energy in two-dimensional lipid systems through July 2029; a $220,956 Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences award (CFDA 47.075) for advancing motivational science through undergraduate data science workforce capacity building through February 2029; and a $184,420 Biological Sciences award (CFDA 47.074) for forecasting soil carbon dioxide efflux across NEON sites through August 2026. The Department of Education funded a $306,511 TRIO Student Support Services award (CFDA 84.042) providing comprehensive student support services for disadvantaged and first-generation students through August 2026, and the Health Resources and Services Administration awarded $1,017,582 (CFDA 93.925) for the Enhancing Pathways for Psychologists in Integrated Care fellowship project through June 2028.

Navy work operates under a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement (N0018923GZ016) with the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery, running through August 31, 2033, with seven task orders totaling $73 thousand in combined potential value. Recent Navy delivery orders include $29,000 (awarded January 30, 2026, completion September 30, 2026), $12,240 (July 1, 2025, completion December 31, 2025), and $7,480.68 (June 6, 2025, completion June 30, 2025), all providing tuition and educational services for Navy personnel professional development at the Minneapolis campus. Activity has remained modest and stable—three awards in 2022, six in 2023, eight in 2024, and seven in 2025—with only two awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing minimal recompete risk. The division also acts as sub-recipient on six NSF and Department of Education grant sub-awards, including positions under the National Space Grant College and Fellowship Program (via University of Minnesota) and the Louis Stokes STEM Pathways and Research Alliance North Star STEM Alliance.
