Description
This grant provides early-career radiologists—specifically residents and fellows—with the opportunity to develop research skills and experience in scientific investigation. The program is designed to prepare recipients for academic careers in radiologic science. Beginning with the 2026 cycle, the grant especially encourages projects aligned with priority focus areas, including precision medicine, imaging in vulnerable populations, radiology efficiencies, personalized pediatric imaging, cybersecurity, and increasing access and efficiency. However, investigator-initiated projects across the full spectrum of radiologic science remain eligible.
