Description
The RSNA Research & Education Foundation supports medical students in gaining medical imaging research experience before choosing a residency program. Recipients define objectives, develop research skills and test hypotheses under a scientific advisor, helping them consider academic radiology as a future career. Projects require at least 8–10 weeks of full-time effort during personal or vacation time or an approved research elective.
The program supports any area of radiologic sciences, including hypothesis-driven basic science, clinical investigations, drug and device development, comparative effectiveness, ethics, quality improvement and imaging informatics. Proposals addressing the Foundation’s priority focus areas are encouraged, but innovative work outside those areas receives full consideration. The Foundation also offers additional awards to attract students from groups underrepresented in medicine to radiology.
