Recognizing the importance of creating and maintaining strategic relationships between the private sector and Clemson’s world-class researchers, in conjunction with the reorganization of the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP), the Research Division has created the Office of Industrial Contracts (OIC) to better support faculty, staff and students in their pursuit of research funding from private sponsors.
The OIC will manage and negotiate research and testing contracts between Clemson and private industry and work closely with the Clemson University Research Foundation to help researchers and industry identify project opportunities. The OIC will coordinate with college-based OSP support centers to ensure uniformity in the institutional proposal development process and is available to answer any questions from researchers or private sponsors.
JoAnna L. Floyd, J.D., has assumed the duties as director of the OIC.
For questions, contact the OIC at cuic@clemson.edu.
