The Scholars Program is designed to provide support to young faculty members early in their academic careers by freeing at least one-half of their time to gain experience in research. If selected by a review panel of the Research and Education Foundation Board of Trustees, the Scholar may select a medical student assistant to help in the research project. 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.
The Medical Student Departmental Award Program is a program designed to permit radiology investigators greater opportunities to identify medical students to work with them to mutual advantage. The grant offers a unique opportunity for an individual to develop new interests, explore new dimensions in radiology, and advance the radiological community's involvement in pertinent socioeconomic, professional and healthcare concerns and issues. Each participating North American residency program receives an award plaque. Each year, the Foundation provides a memento for the department to present to the selected resident or fellow. The Outstanding Researcher Award is granted to recognize and honor one senior physician or scientist who has made a career of significant contributions to the field of radiology or radiologic sciences through research.
