Description
The Translational Science Challenge Pilot Grant, administered by the South Carolina Clinical & Translational Research Institute (SCTR) at MUSC, provides up to $25,000 in direct costs for one-year pilot projects aimed at advancing the science and practice of clinical and translational research. The program is designed to catalyze innovative, multidisciplinary approaches that address barriers in the translational research pipeline, with a focus on improving research efficiency, quality, and downstream health impact. Projects should demonstrate clear potential for future extramural funding and contribute to the broader advancement of translational science methods or processes.
