The Clinical Innovation Awards support 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.

The UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, with support from the University Cancer Research Fund (UCRF), is sponsoring an exciting new pilot research opportunity to support the Optimizing NC Cancer Outcomes Initiative, one of three major themes of the UCRF Strategic Plan. Health-e-NC (H-e-NC) pilot projects will employ a team science approach to mobilize UNC experts to collaborate on research proposals that focus on key priority areas (obesity, diet and physical activity; tobacco use prevention and control; organizational system/settings; and health care providers and practice networks), located in North Carolina anchor counties that have the greatest cancer burden.
