Description
The RSNA Research & Education Foundation’s Research Scholar Grant supports junior faculty who have completed conventional residency and fellowship training but are not yet recognized as independent investigators. It provides protected research time and opportunities to develop scientific investigation skills, with the goal of generating preliminary data for subsequent funding through mechanisms such as the NIH.
Projects may address any area of radiologic science, including basic science, clinical investigation, drug and device development, comparative effectiveness, ethics, quality improvement, clinical efficiency, and imaging informatics. The Foundation encourages projects that advance imaging science, evaluate imaging technology, or use imaging to answer important biological or clinical questions. Applications should distinguish the proposed work from existing research, define achievable goals, and clearly describe the recipient’s responsibilities.
