The South Carolina Telehealth Alliance (SCTA) has allocated funds for five $20,000 awards for
telehealth1-based pilot projects that aim to accelerate the adoption, utilization, and investigation of
telehealth interventions across South Carolina. This funding is intended to provide assistance to
South Carolina clinicians and researchers in their efforts to develop, implement, and evaluate
telehealth solutions. Preference will be given to applications for projects that have 1) the potential
to be scalable and sustainable, 2) save costs while improving care, 3) are in line with the healthcare
needs of South Carolina, and 4) aim to improve the equitable distribution of telehealth services
across South Carolina.
