Breakthrough Leadership in Research Award
USC recognizes individual faculty research accomplishments through a wide range of awards; however, a number of USC faculty members provide outstanding leadership which impacts the research performed by others and the community at large, and such efforts often go unrecognized. The goal of this award is to recognize such faculty members who utilize a synergistic approach to promote and inspire excellence in research, resulting in a significant impact on USC and the community.
Aspire 2013 Awards
The Office of the Vice President for Research is pleased to announce the results of the 2013 ASPIRE I, II and III internal funding competitions.
2013 Breakthrough Rising Stars and Distinguished Graduate Scholars
The Office of Research is excited to present fifteen junior faculty members as the 2013 class of Breakthrough Rising Stars. Their potential for excellence was evident when they were recruited to the University of South Carolina, but in the time since then, their record of research, scholarship and teaching have defined what is the highest and best in academe.
