The North Carolina Research Campus (NCRC) is a mixed-use research facility located in downtown Kannapolis, North Carolina, approximately 20 miles northeast of downtown Charlotte. Launched in 2005 on a site formerly occupied by Plant One of the Cannon Mills Company in Kannapolis, North Carolina, it stands as the youngest of North Carolina's several research and technology hubs. When completed, the 350-acre campus will house some of the most state-of-the-art laboratory space in the United States and is expected to become home to over 100 biotechnology companies. It is a massive scientific and economic revitalization project that encompasses the grounds of the former Cannon Mills plant and entire downtown area of Kannapolis, North Carolina.

David H. Murdock, owner of Castle & Cooke, Inc. and Dole Food Company, Inc., and Molly Corbett Broad, President of the 16-campus University of North Carolina system, unveiled plans on September 12, 2005 for the North Carolina Research Campus.

With 5.8 million square feet, the complex (known locally as a "biopolis" due to the number of biotechnology firms that will soon be located there) is a collaborative project involving Duke University, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and N.C. State University, along with many other private/corporate investors and developers. The facility incorporates corporate, academic, commercial, and residential space, with an orientation towards R&D and biotechnology.
