Collaboration among the institutions in Mississippi on research efforts was increased and strengthened in 1986 when the Mississippi Research Consortium (MRC) was formed. The MRC, a coalition of Mississippi’s four research universities, Jackson State University, Mississippi State University, the University of Mississippi, and the University of Southern Mississippi, was formed. The mission of the MRC includes developing a research infrastructure to support education and extend technology development in Mississippi and to enhance economic opportunities for the state of Mississippi.
