Funder: Radiological Society of North America
Due Dates: January 22, 2027, at 11:59 p.m. CT (Application)
Funding Amounts: Up to $100,000 USD annually for two years ($200,000 total)
Summary: Supports junior faculty in radiologic sciences to develop independent research careers and collect preliminary data for future funding.
Key Information: Each eligible institution may submit no more than two Research Scholar Grant applications per cycle.
Description
The Research Scholar Grant, administered by RSNA’s Research & Education Foundation, helps junior faculty who have completed residency and fellowship training but are not yet recognized as independent investigators. It supports development of research techniques and methods, independent research experience, and preliminary data for future funding through mechanisms such as the NIH.
Projects may address any area of radiologic science, including basic science, clinical investigations, drug and device development, comparative effectiveness, ethics, quality improvement, clinical efficiency, and imaging informatics. The Foundation encourages work advancing imaging science, evaluating imaging technology, or using imaging to answer important biologic or clinical questions. Proposals should define achievable goals and distinguish the applicant’s responsibilities and research from existing funded efforts. Priority-area alignment is encouraged, but innovative projects outside those areas receive consideration.
