About Dakota State University

Dakota State University, a state government educational institution within the South Dakota Board of Regents system headquartered in Madison, South Dakota, operates as a prime recipient on federal research and workforce-development grants and as a subcontractor on defense and education contracts, with recent awards concentrated in cybersecurity and artificial intelligence education, quantum computing research, and small-business technical assistance. The university is not a for-profit entity and does not hold SBA set-aside certifications; it competes full-and-open as an institution of higher learning.

The university's federal footprint spans 55 awards (46 prime, 9 sub) with combined potential value of $147.1 million and obligated dollars totaling $52.2 million. The National Science Foundation dominates activity: 19 NSF awards account for roughly a third of the award count, anchored by research fellowships and capacity-building initiatives. The Department of Education Office of Postsecondary Education placed 5 awards. The Department of the Navy carries the largest dollar magnitude by far — a single Navy award accounts for $147.1 million of the combined potential value, though the source does not detail the scope of that award. The Department of Defense National Security Agency and Naval Air Warfare Center account for 4 awards each; most recent Navy work involves cyber warfare support and pass-through funding under The Mil Corporation as prime.

Recent representative grant work illustrates DSU's core capability areas. The NSF awarded a $3.3 million CyberCorps Scholarship for Service grant (CFDA 47.076, awarded August 2025, completion July 2028) supporting full scholarships in artificial intelligence and cybersecurity for undergraduate and graduate students, with internships and career placement through partnerships with NSA, DOE, and DOD. A $299,956 NSF EPSCOR Research Fellowship (CFDA 47.083, awarded February 2026) funds novel computational approaches for simulating few-nucleon interactions on quantum computers, conducted in collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory and the University of Southern California. The Small Business Administration's Office of Entrepreneurial Development awarded DSU a $1.045 million Cybersecurity for Small Business Pilot Program grant (CFDA 59.079, September 2024 through September 2026) to deliver cybersecurity training, counseling, and remediation services to Madison-area small businesses. DSU also received a $996,266 NSF STEM Education grant (CFDA 47.076, awarded October 2023) funding scholarships up to $15,000 annually for low-income students in AI, computer science, cyber operations, and mathematics. As a collaborative sub-recipient, DSU participates in a $145,770 NSF multi-institutional research award (CFDA 47.083, July 2025 through June 2029) on germanium detector technology and AI-driven materials science led by the University of South Dakota and involving six South Dakota institutions, with industry partners Avera Health and Sanford Health.

On the contract side, DSU subcontracts under The Mil Corporation on Department of the Navy cyber warfare support to Naval Air Warfare Center (multiple incremental funding modifications, 2023–2024) and under Arizona State University on the University Partnerships for Tactical AI Cybersecurity program (awarded July 2024). DSU also subcontracts under Research Triangle Institute on an apprenticeship-expansion program (awarded February 2025). Activity peaked in 2024 with eight awards; the most recent award dates to February 2026. Only two awards face completion within the next twenty-four months, limiting near-term recompete exposure. The Service Contract Inventory reports minimal sub-engagement — 2 SCI records as named subcontractor spanning FY2022–FY2024 with a combined trajectory of 4.9 FTEs (FY2022) declining to 1.9 FTEs (FY2024). DSU operates primarily as a research institution and grant recipient rather than a federal services contractor.
