The South Carolina Research Authority is redrawing its organizational chart in an effort to separate its government contracting arm from the rest of the agency.

Advanced Technology International, as the contracting business is known, will run as more of a separate group in an effort to keep their missions separate, said SCRA spokeswoman Micki MacNaughton.

ATI, which is based in Summerville, provides much of the revenue that keeps the state-chartered research-and-development agency running, MacNaughton said. It oversees government contracts that use technology developed in South Carolina.
