About the company

Written by GovTribe AI ·

Bowie State University's Office of Research and Sponsored Programs operates as a federal grant and research prime recipient, managing the university's $14.5 million combined federal award portfolio across 253 recent awards spanning 65 distinct customer agencies. The university functions as a child entity within the University System of Maryland and is a historically black college and university (HBCU) headquartered in Bowie, Maryland.

Bowie State receives federal research funding and contract funding in concrete categories: STEM capacity building and workforce development (artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, computational chemistry, and plant science research); teacher education and special education program support; undergraduate research experiences and internship programming; and infrastructure grants for laboratory and facility enhancement. Representative prime awards include a $1 million NASA grant for space food production research using AI-infused analysis of hydroponically grown kale under simulated microgravity (completed July 2025); a $920,050 NSF grant examining fruit-eating bats' role in plant pathogen dispersal in Costa Rica (runs through June 2028); a $541,075 NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates award supporting 30 undergraduate students annually in agricultural research at facilities in Kenya (runs through November 2028); a $500,000 NSF Integrative Activities grant on tropical plants and their endosymbionts (completed August 2025); a $2.478 million Department of Education grant for strengthening HBCU undergraduate initiatives in academic quality and student services (October 2025 through September 2027); and a $445,000 Department of Defense Basic Research award for establishing a high-resolution X-ray diffraction facility for energy-harvesting materials research (completed September 2025). The university also holds a $179,550 Army Recruiting Command purchase order for meals, lodging, and training services and a $248,000 NIH award to operate the Summer Internship Program for underrepresented students in neuroscience research.

National Science Foundation leads customer concentration by award count with 32 awards, followed by the Department of Education's Office of Postsecondary Education (20 awards), General Services Administration Public Buildings Service (15 awards), and the Department of Education's Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (15 awards). Top five customers by award count represent 36% of all awards. NASA Goddard Space Center anchors the potential-value ranking with 6 awards ($1.6 million combined), with NASA's Shared Services Center contributing $1 million across 4 awards. Bowie State operates under two parent vehicles: a GSA Basic Ordering Agreement carrying 17 task orders with $506 thousand combined potential value and an Air Force Indefinite Delivery Contract with 11 task orders ($81 thousand combined). The recent award trajectory shows active volume — 19 awards in 2022, 21 in 2023, 21 in 2024 — with 8 awards reaching completion inside the next twenty-four months.

The university functions predominantly as a prime recipient (92% of awards are prime grants or contracts), with limited subcontracting activity. Service Contract Inventory data captures only four SCI-reportable records across four fiscal years (FY2022, FY2024, FY2025), all as a named subcontractor: 56.4 FTEs in FY2022 declining to 2.6 FTEs in FY2024, indicating minimal federal services-contract staffing in the SCI dataset. Bowie State holds several grant sub-awards from Maryland state agencies (Department of Health substance-use-disorder prevention programs), Florida International University (Project Aspirational technical assistance), and University of Maryland College Park (NASA planetary data systems work), and a single contract sub-award from Space Network Solutions LLC for multidisciplinary engineering support services to the Engineering and Technology Directorate (February 2024). Federal category concentration clusters around colleges and universities (23 awards), nonresidential building leasehold (18 awards), and space science research and development (12 awards), with significant education and training activity (12 awards) reflecting the university's teaching mission and STEM workforce development focus.
