Description
SIR Foundation administers this grant to foster students’ interest in research through a summer project in an area the foundation identifies as important to interventional radiology and patient care. The funding mechanism provides student salary support for projects that test a new idea or explore a new area or direction of research in interventional radiology.
The program combines a student-conducted research experience with mentorship from a designated project advisor. Proposed work should advance the field, with review focused on its potential for sustained, collaborative influence through basic science or translational research. SIR and SIR Foundation also emphasize promoting a culture of inclusion and strengthening the specialty through different perspectives.
