Strengthening Clemson’s capacity for impactful discoveries

Research translation turns academic discoveries and innovations into practical solutions. It bridges the gap between research and application by transforming ideas into tools, products, services or policies that benefit society.

At its core, research translation ensures groundbreaking findings do not remain confined to laboratories. Through research translation activities, Clemson ensures outcomes result in meaningful:

  • Societal impact to address real-world challenges.
  • Economic impact that drives technological advancements and entrepreneurship.
  • Educational impact enhances the experiential learning through meaningful research translations for students and faculty.

“We feel the most critical success we can have is to develop further a full awareness of the research translation process while meeting all the different stages of needs. STRIDE’s core promise is to connect Clemson faculty, students and staff with internal and external partners to create opportunities for collaboration, innovation and growth.”
