Apply for assistance with a digital humanities or computational research project
The Humanities Collaborative at USC will sponsor a working group committed to the digital humanities that could provide technical support for your project in the coming academic year. The working group aims to support USC Columbia faculty and graduate students with curiosity, interests, plans or projects related to computational work in the social sciences and humanities. If you have a digital humanities project or even an idea that needs technical support during the next academic year, please complete this brief survey to let the the Humanities Collaborative know. Contact Kate Boyd (boydkf@mailbox.sc.edu) with any questions regarding the group.
Core Spotlight: Diagnostic Genomics Lab
Research Cores at USC are centralized shared research resources that provide access to equipment, instruments, technology and expertise to faculty and investigators and facilitate cutting-edge research to stimulate and increase research productivity and encourage collaboration. This week the Office of Research is highlighting Diagnostic Genomics Lab. The Diagnostic Genomics Laboratory in the College of Pharmacy at the University of South Carolina operates as a clinical outlet for discoveries in pharmacogenomics. Visit the Diagnostic Genomics Lab website to learn more.
Take the Better-Internet Survey to help improve internet access across South Carolina
We are proud to partner with GetConnectedSC to help bring reliable, high-speed internet to all South Carolinians. The Better-Internet Survey is designed to pinpoint internet access availability, barriers to use and other concerns around internet use, down to a specific household level. The five-minute survey will help direct where and when improvements are made, ensuring that we can provide quality internet to all communities in the state. A Spanish version of the survey is also available here. Your participation is greatly appreciated and will help us create a more connected and equitable South Carolina.
New Research Email Lists
The Office of the Vice President for Research invites you to join our new subject-specific email lists for updates on research-related funding opportunities.

Through these lists, we will share important research information, including funding opportunity updates and more from our partner, the Lewis-Burke Associates. Though it will vary by list, subscribers can expect regular, and at times frequent, emails. Click here to sign up for the new email lists.
New service seeking volunteers to support research
The Office of the Vice President for Research encourages anyone who is interested to sign up as a volunteer on ResearchMatch. ResearchMatch brings together people who are trying to find research studies and researchers who are looking for people to participate in their health-related studies. The program makes it easy for researchers to connect with volunteers and further their research projects. Anyone can register with ResearchMatch, including healthy volunteers, and signing up is easy! Visit the ResearchMatch website for more information and to register.
