Description
The More Mentored Career Development program is an institutionally-funded K12 award offered by the South Carolina Clinical & Translational Research (SCTR) Institute at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC). Its primary aim is to provide two years of structured support—including mentorship, access to SCTR resources, and collaborative research opportunities—to early-stage investigators. The program is designed to facilitate the transition of junior faculty toward independent research careers, paralleling the objectives and structure of NIH-funded K12 awards but utilizing institutional resources.
