Incubator Grant supports clinical researchers with study planning and proposal development to secure subsequent funding for research that advances interventional radiology and patient care.
Funder: Society of Interventional Radiology
Due Dates: January 15, 2027, at 5 p.m. ET (Final application)
Funding Amounts: Up to $25,000 for one year
Summary: Supports clinical research planning and proposal development to secure subsequent funding for studies advancing interventional radiology and patient care.
Key Information: Planning only: the grant does not support data collection or conducting the clinical study.
Administered by SIR Foundation, the Incubator Grant helps clinical researchers prepare studies for subsequent federal or industry funding. Previously known as the Funding Source Development Grant, it supports research important to advancing interventional radiology and patient care and aligned with the foundation’s clinical research goals.
Supported work includes developing a complete clinical study protocol, an application to the National Institutes of Health, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, or another federal entity, a complete proposal for industry funding, or an operations/training manual and supporting study materials. The program prioritizes projects identified by an SIR Foundation Research Consensus Panel (RCP), but proposals that have not undergone the RCP process are also eligible.
