About Korea Advanced Institute Of Science And Technology
Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), operating through its General Research Affairs Team Division and registered in SAM.gov as a tax-exempt educational institution, is a private non-profit research university based in Daejeon, South Korea that acts as a federal grant recipient and occasional contract prime, delivering advanced scientific research and engineering validation services to the Department of Defense and related agencies. KAIST's federal footprint is dominated by grant work (94% of awards are prime grants and contracts), with the Air Force providing the largest customer concentration at 29 awards, followed by the Office of Naval Research and the Navy at 8 awards each, and the Army Materiel Command representing the primary contract prime opportunity at $287 thousand combined potential value.
KAIST's recent capability profile centers on quantum technologies, advanced materials, photonics, and sensor systems aligned with defense research priorities. Representative work includes a $150 thousand Air Force Defense Research Sciences Program (CFDA 12.800) grant awarded February 2026 for on-chip quantum magnon sensing, a three-year project completing February 2029; a $150 thousand Air Force grant awarded September 2025 for topological photonic integrated circuits for robust optical control, completing September 2028; a $110 thousand Air Force Office of Scientific Research grant awarded August 2025 for stable halide perovskite single-photon emitters and LED applications, completing August 2028; and a $210,125.97 firm fixed price purchase order from the Army and Air Force Exchange Service awarded September 2022 for validation and optimization of a hybrid-electric powertrain system supporting the Army Research and Development International Center Indo-Pacific program, completing September 2025. Additional recent Air Force grants cover novel magnetic phases in quasicrystals, multilayer moiré quantum devices, wireless visual sensor networks, and non-contact IC communication via magnetic resonance, all supporting fundamental and applied research in quantum information sciences and advanced electronics.
The Air Force and its sub-components (Air Force Research Laboratory, Air Materiel Command Research Laboratory) account for 87% of awards by count and span the full spectrum of KAIST's grant work. The Navy's Office of Naval Research and basic research programs provide supplemental customer concentration. KAIST also subcontracts to university primes including the University of Florida and Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University, contributing DNA vaccine development and molecular biology components to biodefense research. Five awards face completion inside the next twenty-four months and carry recompete exposure. Recent annual award activity has ranged from three to seven awards per year over the past five years, with combined potential value across all active awards at $497 thousand and combined obligated dollars at $7.8 million, reflecting a portfolio of shorter-duration research grants typical of DoD basic research sponsorship.
