Grant Overview
South Carolina maintains 23 accredited business schools eligible for marketing research grants, yet only seven hold current AACSB status required by the funding agency. Faculty at these seven institutions must demonstrate that proposed budgets do not exceed $148,000 in direct costs, reflecting the state's average indirect cost rate of 32 percent negotiated with the Department of Health and Human Services.
Cost constraints appear most acutely in primary data collection. State tourism records show that 41 percent of arts events occur in Charleston and Greenville counties, requiring travel budgets that average $2,400 per out-of-state research assistant for multi-site studies. Institutions located in Columbia face lower per diem rates under state travel regulations, creating documented differences in allowable budget line items compared with Clemson or Coastal Carolina.
Applicants must itemize every subcontract above $5,000 and provide three competitive bids under South Carolina procurement code 11-35-1230. This rule applies even when the subcontractor is a nonprofit arts organization, unlike federal grant rules that permit sole-source justification for cultural partners.
Eligibility further requires a letter from the institution's sponsored programs office confirming that no state general fund dollars will supplement the award. South Carolina's Commission on Higher Education publishes an annual list of institutions that have accepted such restrictions; only those on the current list may submit.
South Carolina differs from North Carolina and Georgia because its state procurement code imposes a hard cap on equipment purchases at $4,999 per item without legislative approval, directly limiting purchase of eye-tracking hardware commonly used in marketing experiments.
