Description
The Early Career RISE Award is an annual honor presented by the Society of Interventional Radiology’s Early Career Section. RISE stands for Recognizing Inspirational Service & Engagement. The award recognizes an individual who has demonstrated leadership through consistent support of early career interventional radiologists, particularly attending physicians at the beginning of their careers.
Inspired by the energy and community spirit of the 2025 SIR Annual Scientific Meeting, the award emphasizes sustained mentorship, community-building and advocacy. Rather than funding a specified research project, it acknowledges contributions that advance early career colleagues and strengthen their professional community. The recipient is recognized at the SIR Annual Scientific Meeting.
