Clemson University was recently recognized by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as the most active research institution in South Carolina.
Total research and development expenditures reached an all-time high at $339 million in 2024, the highest expenditure across all South Carolina universities according to the most recent NSF Higher Education Research and Development Survey. While the numbers are impressive, the impact that this research is having on the community is the real achievement. From reducing hospital admissions to helping manage diabetes and crop cultivation, Clemson research is essential to South Carolina’s livelihood. 🚀🚀🚀

Clemson leads S.C. universities in research activity, per NSF
This growth would not be possible without the ecosystems supporting it. Programs and resources like National Science Foundation, Clemson University- STRIDE and the Clemson University Research Foundation are instrumental in cultivating an environment where research can expand to products and impact. By leveraging strategic funding pathways such as Clemson University- STRIDE STRP (Seed Translation Research Projects) funds, STRP and SBIR grants, Clemson University Research Foundation Maturation funds and SCRA: South Carolina Research Authority partnership, our researchers are successfully translating lab-based innovations into market-ready solutions.
We are proud to contribute to this culture of research translation and look forward to the continued growth of Clemson’s innovation pipeline and its enduring benefit to the people of South Carolina. ⚗️🧬🔬
