I JSC senior vice president. "We started with the USC Educational Foundation, with $50,000. It was such a successful program, we determined we wanted to put more money into it. Making that determination, we wanted to move it to the R and D foundation to do it." Vlahoplus said Carolina Research and Development Foundation had historically been concerned with real estate acquisition to assist in USC's growth. With the development of the Carolina Venture Fund, the foundation is moving more into the support of research and development. "About two years ago, it was determined that the research and development founda * ? rAl? r*f an tion move into ine more uaumuim. .

THE FOUNDATION has sold two of its major Columbia properties: the Woodland Teirace Apartments on Beltline and the Senate Plaza apartment building. The Research and Development Foundation is also working on the Wheeler Hill project located off Pickens Street near the USC water tower. The area is being developed in partnership with the city of Columbia, according to Vlahoplus. The monies from the sales of these properties will be endowed, and the earnings from the endowments will be used to support a variety of projects at USC, he said. According to "Times 9," a USC publica* - r _ tion, any full-time tenured tracK proiessui is eligible to apply for a grant, and although there are no prior limitations on the amount or length of funding, "the awards are designed as seed money to nuture scholarly activities... that conceivably be expanded to tap larger funding sources."
