Description
The Allied Scientist Grant, administered by SIR Foundation, supports research training in disciplines outside clinical interventional radiology (IR) that are crucial to the field’s future. It brings graduate trainees and postdoctoral fellows into collaborative research environments that combine the perspectives of established scientists and interventional radiologists. Relevant disciplines include engineering, informatics, and cellular and molecular biology.
The program funds basic or translational research that builds ongoing collaboration between scientific laboratories and IR. Priorities include innovative, groundbreaking research, high-impact work with near-term clinical relevance, multidisciplinary collaboration, and studies that transfer knowledge from bench to bedside. Through mentored research, the foundation seeks to develop the next generation of IR investigators.
