Description
Administered by SIR Foundation, this grant supports interventional radiology faculty early in their academic careers by providing time to conduct research. It is intended for full-time faculty with dedicated research time whose proposed work advances the science of interventional radiology. The goal is for recipients to subsequently obtain additional support from peer-reviewed funding sources, such as the National Institutes of Health.
The two-year program combines research support with academic development through mentorship and highly recommended opportunities for proposal-development feedback and pre-review. It sits within SIR Foundation’s mission to advance scientific knowledge, increase the number of skilled investigators, and develop innovative therapies that improve patient care and quality of life.
