Augsburg University

Augsburg University Administrative Accounting Division, a tax-exempt private nonprofit university based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, operates as a federal grant recipient and contract prime delivering tuition and educational services to the Department of the Navy and research and educational programming grants from civilian agencies. The university competes in full-and-open procurements with no set-aside designations across its federal footprint.

Augsburg's contract work centers on tuition and professional development services for Navy personnel through a single-award Basic Ordering Agreement with the Bureau of Medicine and Surgery established September 15, 2023, and running through August 31, 2033. Recent delivery orders under this BOA include a $29,000 award in January 2026 for Navy personnel tuition and educational services, a $12,240 delivery order in July 2025 for fall-term tuition and fees, and a $7,481 award in June 2025 for summer-term tuition. Seven task orders under the BOA have generated $73,000 in combined potential value. The Navy contract footprint represents $49,000 in combined potential value across three awards and sits at the center of Augsburg's federal contract activity, though the university's federal engagement is weighted toward grants.

Federal grant recipients include the National Science Foundation (31 awards), the Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education (14 awards), and the Health Resources and Services Administration. Recent grant awards exemplify Augsburg's focus on STEM workforce development, mental health and behavioral services, and research training for underrepresented students. The university received a $306,511 Project Grant under the TRIO Student Support Services Program (CFDA 84.042) from the Office of Postsecondary Education in September 2025 to deliver comprehensive student support services for disadvantaged and first-generation students through August 2026. The National Science Foundation awarded a $220,956 Project Grant in September 2025 under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075) for "Advancing Motivational Science Through Undergraduate Labor Force Capacity Building and Community Data Science Infrastructure," delivering data science training to 120 undergraduate students across four years through February 2029. The Health Resources and Services Administration Bureau of Health Professionals funded a $1,017,582 Project Grant in July 2025 for the "Enhancing Pathways for Psychologists in Integrated Care" fellowship to train health service psychology students in integrated primary care settings and community-based mental health services through June 2028. Augsburg also holds grants from NSF Geosciences ($106,909 for magnetosphere-ionosphere plasma wave research; $389,417 for atmospheric particle formation research), the SAMHSA Center for Mental Health Services for the Auggie Well-Being mental health outreach program, NSF Education and Human Resources for STEM teacher preparation through the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship Program, and grant sub-awards as a recipient under University of Minnesota and University of Nebraska prime grants in STEM pathways and health services research. Across recent years, Augsburg has held 85 total awards (prime plus sub) with combined obligated value of $50.6 million against combined potential value of $113,000, reflecting that the university's federal engagement operates predominantly on obligated grants rather than contract optionality. Six awards (combined potential value $29,000) complete in the next twenty-four months. As a sub-recipient, Augsburg participates in University of Minnesota and University of Nebraska prime grants focused on STEM education pathways and health-services research. The university's federal portfolio targets first-generation, low-income, and underrepresented students across STEM, education, and mental health services delivery.
