SC State seeking research status, more grants

Tuesday, September 29, 2009

South Carolina State University has a number of initiatives in the works it hopes may eventually help it reach its long-term goal of being classified as a research institution.

"The sky is the limit," interim Vice President of Research and Economic Development Dr. Leonard McIntyre says. "We're well on our way."

The university recently received the largest grant in its history, a $13 million federal award that will allow S.C. State to produce more than two million textbooks for students in the African nation of Tanzania.

But McIntyre says there could be even more good news on the way.

He said the university is seeking a $25 million federal stimulus grant to produce biofuel. If S.C. State receives the grant, it would be the lead organization in a consortium, along with the Penn Center, the Williamsburg County Development Board and Sentinel Renewable Energy.

McIntyre said the focus of the consortium's work would be producing biofuel from canola seeds. S.C. State officials would conduct the research in Williamsburg, engaging local farmers to grow the seeds. The proposal states it would create 21 new jobs.

McIntyre said the university will know if it has received the grant by late October.
