History
SRC is an independent, not-for-profit, research and development corporation chartered by the state of New York.
SRC was created by Syracuse University in 1957. In the early 1970s, our team spun off from the University to become an independent organization. For more than 55 years, SRC has supported a broad range of federal government organizations and agencies and has developed a national reputation in a wide array of technology areas. During the past 10 years, SRC’s employment has risen from 200 people to more than 1,000 people. We have offices in 13 locations, along with numerous customer support sites throughout the United States, and are headquartered in Syracuse, N.Y.
