R-Initiative programs nurture scholarship and discovery at Clemson University by providing funding opportunities and professional development support, while recognizing excellence through awards programs.


The SciShield software management system formerly known as BioRAFT, provides a user-friendly platform for researchers to track laboratory inventories, manage safety equipment, track training for investigators and lab members, streamline inspections and more.


Faculty Insight empowers faculty to uncover funding opportunities and identify subject matter experts at Clemson and provides them with a comprehensive, editable pre-populated research profile.


iLab provides a convenient online platform to schedule time and manage billing at all of the research facilities of the Division of Research.


The Office of Research Development Proposal Repository contains a vast library of proposals to offer researchers examples from which to guide their proposal-writing strategies. Proposals can be filtered by funding agency and/or document type, such as full proposals, data management plans, logic models, reviews, letters of collaboration, and others. Users can also search document titles, authors, categories and types by keyword.


The Division of Research policy manual is available to download in a pdf format or view online.


This Tableau dashboard uses data from the Fixed Assets group of Accounting Services’ AIM system to display assets dedicated to research activities. Data is refreshed nightly, allowing the University to maximize the utilization of research equipment through potential asset-sharing, cost-sharing on service agreements, and/or transfer. Deans, Associate Deans and Department Chairs can access the Research Assets Search Tool using their Clemson login and DUO.


The quarterly research reports submitted to the Clemson University Board of Trustees include data on Clemson research activity, along with news and highlights of Clemson faculty and impactful research.


The Catalyst Award Program (formerly Small Restricted Receipts) provides a mechanism to capture and grow relationships stakeholders who wish to provide start-up or maintenance support to advance a line of inquiry but require no set deliverables nor consider the funding as philanthropic support.
