On Oct. 24, 2011, the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) officially dedicated the James E. Clyburn Research Center. Congressman Clyburn was honored by MUSC for his lifetime of work advocating for equity in the health care system and his commitment to funding programs to end health disparities.

The Clyburn Research Center contains two state-of-the-art buildings that house collaborative research projects to advance health care delivery and improve the quality of life for patients with chronic diseases and veterans with debilitating injuries.
