The Clinical Innovation Awards
program supports novel programs that demonstrate significant potential for
innovation in patient care and services and elevate current care models or
break new ground at UNC at Chapel Hill.
Programs span the clinical spectrum from early detection to palliative
care, and from childhood to adult.
These eight
Clinical Innovation projects and programs are the first to receive funding
from the UCRF’s competitive awards programs. Awards for the companion
Innovation Awards are expected to be announced in the very near future.
The
UCRF expects to announce a new round of Clinical Innovation Awards with a
June, 2008 due date. |
