Research Fellow Awards are targeted to physicians who are nearing the end of their radiologic training. These grants are intended to give physicians an opportunity to devote a year to research under the guidance of an experienced scientific advisor. The Research Fellow will gain further insight into scientific investigation and develop competence in research and educational techniques and methods. The year can be planned to develop skills in engineering or administrative sciences or in imaging technology. It may be a year dedicated to learning critical data analysis, including study design and data evaluation.
Applicants are individuals who possess any degree acceptable for radiology residencies.
The Research Seed Grant Program is designed to assist young investigators in gaining experience testing hypotheses and defining objectives before they apply for major grants from corporations, foundations, or government agencies. The Seed Grant Program funds the preliminary studies required prior to seeking major funding for a research program. The program is structured to provide medical students an opportunity to explore their interest and curiosity in academic medicine. Candidates for this award are nominated by current first-year RSNA Scholars. Nominees are individuals who are enrolled full-time in recognized medical schools.
