Research Roundup

Not all researchers who receive support from NC TraCS are basic scientists or clinicians. In fact, since the inception of the NC TraCS Pilot Program in October 2008, 16 scientists from the College of Arts & Sciences have landed pilot awards to help further their research as principal investigators.
