The MRI is a tool that is used to treat and diagnose cancer
Radiology is a growing field that uses X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs to diagnose and treat diseases. The study of radiology has proved to be priceless in understanding diseases such as cancer and effectively treat and cure them.
Grants for radiology research aims to increase the usefulness of radiologic technology to improve the ways diseases are recognized and treated. Innovative equipment that addresses chronic illnesses can become lifesaving devices in the future. Private and public organizations provide research to improve the field of radiology.
RSNA R&E Foundation research grants
RSNA Research and Education Foundation is a private organization that has given more than $30 million in grant funding for research in radiology. The Foundation aims to encourage careers in radiologic sciences by providing research opportunities for undiscovered investigators.
There are various research opportunities available such as the research resident/fellow grant which provide young investigators an opportunity to gain further knowledge in radiologic studies. These grants are given for one year of research in the amount of $30,000.
Eligible topics for investigation are any topic related to radiologic sciences such as advance in imaging science, developing medical imaging technology, and making innovative use of imaging science to answer biologic or clinical questions.
To be eligible for this grant, applicants must be an RSNA member, resident, or fellow in a department of radiology, radiation oncology, or nuclear medicine within a U.S. institution of higher education and must have minimal investigation experience. The application submission is a two-part process; the application is first submitted electronically then printed and signed for mail service submission.
