| Clinical Trials |
| HSSC's member organizations have active research enterprises. These clinical trials are funded by government entities such as the National Institutes of Health, the US Department of Defense, and the National Science Foundation, along with pharmaceutical and medical device companies. Nearly every disease process is under study, from cancer, heart disease, and diabetes to digestive disease disorders, adolescent obesity, sickle cell disease, and AIDS. Clinical trials offer hope to patients and families and also provide tremendous opportunities for research collaboration and investment.
In 2009, the HSSC-supported Center of Economic Excellence in Healthcare Quality at University of South Carolina received a $4.8 million Grand Opportunity (GO) grant from the National Institutes of Health that will make it easier for patients to participate in clinical trials in South Carolina. The grant is funding the development of a research permissions management system, an Internet-based network that will enable patients to identify and volunteer for clinical research trials in the state, receive notifications of future research trials related to their condition, and donate tissue samples for research, all while protecting their personal health information.

* Clemson's clinical trials are performed in partnership with the Greenville Hospital System. Please see the link above for more information. |
