Description
Administered by SIR Foundation, the Allied Scientist Grant supports research training outside the clinical realm of interventional radiology (IR) in disciplines crucial to the specialty’s future. It connects graduate-level trainees and postdoctoral fellows with established scientists and interventional radiologists, creating collaborative research training environments. Relevant disciplines include engineering, informatics, and cellular and molecular biology.
The program seeks ongoing collaboration between basic or translational science laboratories and IR. Its priorities include innovative, groundbreaking research; high-impact work with near-term clinical relevance; multidisciplinary, synergistic projects; and translational studies that move knowledge from bench to bedside. Through mentored research, the grant aims to develop the next generation of IR investigators and advance therapies that improve patient care and quality of life.
