History

Syracuse Research Corporation was founded in 1957 as a not-for-profit arm of Syracuse University.^[1] The organization was formed to work on projects relative to America's national security. SRC provided Syracuse University's faculty with a vehicle to obtain grants and contracts, which could be used to pursue their research ideas. The company became an independent organization in the early 1970s.^[2] In 2008, SRC officially changed its name from Syracuse Research Corporation to SRC, Inc.^[3]

SRC's government research monies were exhausted in 1970-71, and employment fell to about 150 employees within a year. In 1972, SRC spun off as a separate entity, as a result of controversary surrounding the Vietnam War. The separation from the University was concluded in 1975.

For the next 20 years, SRC's employment fluctuated between 150 and 200, as did its earnings. During this time, several high-tech businesses were spawned during this period, including Anaren Microwave, Inc. and Leybold Inficon.^[4] SRC continued to grow steadily throughout the 1990s.

In 2006, SRC created SRCTec, an ISO 9001-registered subsidiary ^[5] that provides manufacturing and logistics support for electronics systems.

SRC has offices in Colorado, Maine, Maryland, New York, Ohio, Texas and Virginia. SRC employs more than 1,100 people.^[6]
