Industry Engagement Seed Grant Program
The Clemson University Industry Engagement Seed Grant Program is intended to provide financial support to eligible Clemson faculty with the goal of engaging for-profit companies to foster sponsored project activities. Funding may be used for industry engagement activities, including: presenting a paper at a technical conference hosted by an industry association or that has significant industry participation; attending a meeting at company’s site to discuss collaboration opportunities; hosting a company visit, a workshop attended by invited companies, or an industry trade group symposium on-site at the university to explore sponsored project opportunities. Eligible applicants for this funding opportunity are tenured, tenure-track, or research faculty who have not had a sponsored project funded by a for-profit company in the current and three (3) immediately preceding fiscal years at Clemson.
The deadline to apply is June 28, 2024.
