Radiology - Medical Student Research Grant

Radiological Society of North America(RSNA)

This R&E Foundation grant gives medical students the opportunity to gain research experience in medical imaging while they’re still in school. Recipients will define objectives, develop research skills and test hypotheses, all before even choosing a residency program. Ultimately, this experience gives students a chance to consider academic radiology as a future career option.

In order to attract the brightest young researchers to radiology, the Foundation will award up to 10 additional grants for medical students who identify as minorities underrepresented in medicine (UIM) beginning in the 2020 grant funding year.

Application cycle open

We are currently accepting applications for the 2025–26 Medical Student Research Grant!

Hypothesis-driven basic science
Clinical investigation
Drug, device or therapy development
Comparative effectiveness
Evidence-based radiology

Imaging informatics

Award amount
