Description
The Bridge to Population Science Award is a pilot funding opportunity from the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Hollings Cancer Center. Its primary aim is to catalyze innovative, interdisciplinary partnerships between members of the Cancer Prevention & Control program and those in either Cancer Biology & Immunology or Developmental Cancer Therapeutics. The award is intended to bridge basic science and population health, accelerating impactful cancer research that aligns with MUSC’s mission and strategic priorities. Projects should demonstrate novel collaborations and have strong potential to lead to future extramural (e.g., NIH) funding.
