The Pre-Clinical & Clinical Concepts Award is an intramural pilot funding opportunity administered by MUSC Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina. It supports cancer-related projects that generate preliminary or supportive data directly connected to the development of a grant submission, grant resubmission, or funded clinical trial. The mechanism is designed for practical review and rapid funding of proposals.
The award sits within Hollings’ broader intramural support for faculty conducting cancer-related research and clinical services. These opportunities foster interdisciplinary collaboration, innovative thinking, and translational research. They aim to catalyze promising cancer research aligned with the center’s strategic priority focus areas and showing strong potential for future extramural support.
