Description
The SCTR Voucher Program is an ongoing funding opportunity administered by the Medical University of South Carolina’s South Carolina Clinical and Translational Research Institute (SCTR). It supports investigators gathering preliminary data for a grant proposal, improving the science or safety of an existing research project, or developing a translational focus in their work.
Vouchers reimburse eligible research services and supplies rather than providing unrestricted project funding. The program serves basic, translational, and clinical researchers, along with MUSC-affiliated community research projects, subject to its PI eligibility requirements. It sits within SCTR’s broader support for innovative, multidisciplinary, translational science, helping investigators strengthen both their research projects and future grant proposals.
