MSU Research Foundation
The MSU Research Foundation supports the Michigan State University ecosystem with resources that increase the impact of research and innovation. The Foundation achieves its mission through grant programs that contribute over $15 million annually to the University, entrepreneurial programming delivered through its venture creation subsidiary, Spartan Innovations, and early-stage investments made through it venture funds—Red Cedar Ventures and Michigan Rise Pre-Seed Fund III—that accelerate technology transfer and startup growth throughout Michigan, as well as environments where startup businesses and collaborators can thrive. The Foundation’s work is made possible through its stewardship of a flexible and sustainable endowment, nourished by over 50 years of licensing revenues and investment returns.
