CHARLESTON, S.C. — The Medical University of South Carolina has received more than $11 million in federal funding to establish the "Building Resilience through Innovative Interventions to promote Growth and Health after Trauma" (BRIGHT) Center, a multidisciplinary effort aimed at improving care and outcomes for trauma survivors.
Directed by clinical psychologist Carla Kmett Danielson, Ph.D., with co-director Kenneth Ruggiero, Ph.D., the center will be housed at MUSC in Charleston and is the first COBRE (Center of Biomedical Research Excellence) of its kind led by faculty in the Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences department at the institution.
