Research Seed Grants
The Research Seed Grant initiative facilitates collaborative pilot research and scholarly activities supporting Prisma Health’s research goals and priorities and those of its university partners (Clemson University, Furman University and University of South Carolina).
Seed Grants in the areas of health system science; health care delivery innovation; community health, population health, and health disparities/equity; educating and supporting the health care workforce, and basic science and translational research are supported through funding from Prisma Health and academic partners. Applicants may request a funding amount up to $20,000. Applicants may cite matching funds from their respective units or from other sources, but cost-share is not required.
