Description
The RSNA Research & Education Foundation’s Research Seed Grant supports the preliminary or pilot phase of scientific projects by faculty investigators worldwide. It helps investigators test hypotheses, demonstrate feasibility, refine research directions and develop preliminary data for subsequent applications to corporations, foundations and government agencies. The program also supports development of research skills and methods toward a career in academic radiologic science.
Projects may address any area of radiologic science, including basic and clinical investigation, drug and device development, comparative effectiveness, ethics, quality improvement and imaging informatics. Research advancing imaging science, evaluating imaging technology or using imaging to answer important biological or clinical questions is encouraged. Priority-aligned proposals are encouraged, but innovative projects outside those areas receive full consideration.
