New SC BioCRAFT Voucher Program
A new opportunity from the NIH COBRE Bioengineering Center for Regeneration and Formation of Tissues (SC BioCRAFT). SC BioCRAFT has developed two main Scientific Cores during the Phase I and Phase II of the grant. The two cores are: Biomaterials Engineering and Testing Core (BET) and the Clemson Translational Research and Imaging Core (C-TRIC). Learn more about the BET Core here. Learn more about C-TRIC here.

The Voucher Program is aimed at promoting the Cores and supporting research efforts of scientists and engineers in the state of SC, towards obtaining supporting data for grant applications or scientific manuscripts. Vouchers can be used directly for services offered by the cores, utilization of core equipment, training, consultation and materials needed to achieve the scientific goals.
Voucher program details and application information can be found here. Applications should be emailed to SCBIOCRAFT@clemson.edu. For any further questions, please email the core directors:

    New CUSHR Clinical Faculty

The Clemson University School of Health Research has appointed six new clinical faculty from Prisma Health. View the below hyperlinks to their faculty profiles to learn more about their research and how it's transforming health care:

New CUSHR Post-Doc Fellows

Clemson University School of Health Research has two new post-doctoral embedded fellows at Prisma Health.
Mirinda Gormley, Ph.D., MSPH, NRP, earned her doctoral degree in Epidemiology from the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine in 2020. She joined Clemson on Sept 28, 2020 (academic appointment in CU Public Health Sciences).   Mirinda has published papers in the areas of opioid abuse disorder, traumatic brain injury and emergency medical services. She will be working with Dr. Moonseong Heo, Dr. Alex Ewing, Dr. Alain Litwin, and other Prisma Health Clinical Faculty on diverse research projects. She will also be building a database for the Internal Medicine Clinic registry and clinical trial data. As a team member of the Addiction Research Center, she will be involved in analyzing data collected from large scale clinical trials such as the nationwide multi-site HERO (Hepatitis C Real Option) study for treating Hepatitis C among people who inject drugs.
Zachary Klinefelter, Ph.D., will receive his doctoral degree in Industrial-Organizational Psychology from Clemson University in December of 2020. He has published papers in the areas of the determinants of mental health treatment seeking in high risk occupations,  military psychology, and organizational climate for reporting stress-related concerns. He will be working with Dr. Thomas Britt, Dr. Marissa Shuffler, Dr. Chip Wiper, and other Prisma Health clinical faculty to enhance research on health organization science and facilitate grant submissions in this area. Klinefleter will be investigating the use of machine learning to provide insights into the operation of teams and organizations within healthcare settings.

Health Research Spotlight

     
When immunization guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention aren’t updated in a health care setting, patients could suffer the consequences. Xia Jing, an assistant professor in the Clemson University Department of Public Health Sciences, is beginning a five-year project to help make updating these guidelines a little easier for providers in smaller primary care settings. Jing’s project aims to provide publicly accessible, reusable, and machine-interpretable clinical decision support (CDS) rules, such as immunization schedules. Funding this work is a $1.67 million grant from the National Institute of General Medicine Science of the National Institutes of Health.
