Description
This grant from the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) Foundation is designed to help experienced interventional radiologists (over age 40) who have recently transitioned from nonacademic to academic positions in the US or Canada. The funding is intended to facilitate the establishment of an independent research track, focusing on pilot or seed projects that advance the field of interventional radiology (IR). The program aims to help these clinicians build a foundation for long-term academic success and innovation in IR.
