TRANSFORM SC
South Carolina’s children have high rates of asthma, obesity, diabetes and conditions such as ADHD, autism, depression and anxiety, all of which are concerning to parents and impact our future as a state. Medical research can lead to solutions that will minimize or reverse the impact of devastating conditions. However, opportunities for children and their families to take advantage of these research opportunities are few, particularly in rural and medically underserved communities. On September 21, 2016, the National Institutes of Health awarded a four-year, $1.6 million grant to the University of South Carolina (USC) School of Medicine Columbia to establish a statewide Pediatric Clinical Trials Network. Health Sciences South Carolina (HSSC) and the Medical University of South Carolina are working with the USC School of Medicine, Columbia, and other collaborators across the state to improve the health of children across South Carolina through the TRANSFORM SC clinical trials and research network.
HSSC is proud of this initiative that leverages our ability to bring together collaborators with a shared commitment making good health possible for South Carolina’s children.
