Description
The South Carolina Research Authority (SCRA) offers the Academic Startup Grant to startups advancing intellectual property originating at institutions of higher education. The grant supports critical milestones toward commercialization and helps companies pursue follow-on funding.
The grant is part of SCRA’s non-dilutive funding for Member Companies, made possible in part by contributions to the Industry Partnership Fund. SCRA describes that fund as supporting economic impact and job creation in South Carolina.
