Summary: Supports research addressing the physical, psychosocial, and economic challenges faced by cancer survivors and their caregivers.
The Survivorship and Cancer Outcomes Research (SCOR) Award is an intramural funding opportunity from the MUSC Hollings Cancer Center. It is designed to stimulate research that addresses the broad challenges faced by cancer survivors and their caregivers, including physical health, psychosocial well-being, and economic impacts such as financial toxicity and employment issues. The award supports a wide range of research methodologies—clinical, health services, psychosocial, and economic—provided the work clearly aims to improve survivorship and cancer outcomes. Projects are expected to align with the Hollings Cancer Center’s strategic priorities and generate preliminary data that may support future extramural funding applications.
