Description
The RSNA Research & Education Foundation supports medical students in gaining research experience before choosing residency programs. Students define objectives, develop research skills and test hypotheses under a scientific advisor, with the goal of considering academic radiology as a future career. Projects take place in radiology, radiation oncology or nuclear medicine departments at North American educational institutions.
The program welcomes any area of research related to radiologic sciences, including basic science, clinical investigations, drug and device development, comparative effectiveness, ethics, quality improvement, clinical efficiency and imaging informatics. Proposals addressing the Foundation’s priority focus areas are encouraged, but innovative work outside those areas receives full consideration. Up to 10 additional grants support students who identify as underrepresented in medicine.
