Description
This opportunity is intended for trainees enrolled in graduate-level, degree-seeking programs (e.g., MS, PhD, or equivalent) or postdoctoral fellows at accredited institutions in the US or Canada. The grant funds projects that advance interventional radiology (IR) through interdisciplinary research, promoting collaboration between established scientists and IR professionals. Priority is given to projects that are highly innovative, translational, and have near-term clinical relevance. Research areas may include engineering, informatics, cellular/molecular biology, or other fields essential to IR advancement.
The program encourages applicants to participate in a proposal development and pre-review process for feedback prior to final submission, though these steps are not mandatory for eligibility.
