The Medical University of South Carolina has been awarded almost $29 million from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

The funds will be used for basic science, student training, faculty recruitment, and human clinical trials.

Check out MUSC's The Catalyst for more information.

Live 5 News has some quotes from university officials and ABC News 4 breaks out how the money will be used just a little bit more.
