Description
Offered through SIR Foundation and developed collaboratively with the Women in IR Section, this grant supports and highlights women performing interventional radiology (IR) research. It pairs a faculty researcher with a medical student or trainee for a summer research project, expanding opportunities to learn about IR research while promoting inclusion within the specialty.
Projects may address clinical research, basic science, education, healthcare equity, device development, augmented intelligence, or any other area that advances IR. Priority goes to pilot studies that can lead to further federal funding. Faculty researchers are expected to demonstrate a commitment to supporting and furthering women in IR research and to mentor their student or trainee throughout the summer project.
