Questions and Answers

Commonly asked questions about this funding opportunity from the host and other attendees.

Which grants am I eligible for?

Research grants are specific to your level of training. Generally, the name of the grant directly references who is eligible to apply (i.e. the Medical Student Research Grant is for medical students only). The Research Seed and Research Scholar grants are for full-time faculty. Most education grants are for any RSNA member. For the RSNA/AUR/APDR/SCARD Radiology Education Research Development Grant, you must hold a position in a radiology department. If you’re unsure you qualify for a grant, contact Ro Ortiz at rortiz@rsna.org or call 1-630-590-7789, before beginning the application process.

I’m eligible for the Research Seed and the Research Scholar grants. Which should I apply for?

It all depends on the amount of time you have available and how long you’ve held a faculty position at an educational institution. The Research Scholar Grant requires more time and more experience. You have to hold a full-time faculty position at the time of application, and be within five to eight years of your initial hire date. Plus, you have to devote 20% effort to your project. The Research Scholar Grant is more flexible. It doesn't require you to hold a faculty position at the time of application, as long as you have one by the time funding starts. Plus, there's no minimum effort requirement.

Do I need to be an RSNA member to apply for a grant?

Yes, you must be an RSNA member at the time of application. If you’re a non dues-paying member (such as a medical student or member-in-training), your scientific advisor or co-investigator must be a dues-paying member. If you’re currently not a member, or your membership has expired, feel free to contact our membership department at membership@rsna.org.

Can I apply for more than one grant at a time?

No, you can only submit one research or education grant application per year.

Is there a limit to the number of times I can apply?

No, you can reapply for any grant using a non-funded project as many times as you wish, as long as you remain eligible for that particular grant.

Is there a limit to the number of applications submitted from a single institution?

Most of our grants do not have limits. However, the Research Scholar Grant does have limits on the number of applications that can be submitted per department of participating institutions. See current policies and procedures manual for the most recent requirements.

Is there a minimum percent effort I must devote to my project?

It depends on the grant: The Research Scholar Grant requires a minimum of 20% effort over two years. The Research Resident and Fellow Grants both require applicants devote 3.6 calendar months (or 30% effort) over a maximum two-year project. The Medical Student Research Grant requires 100% effort for an 8–10 week supervised project.

Is it necessary for my institution to match funds for the Medical Student Research Grant?

Yes, it is. RSNA provides $3,000 in funding to be matched by the institution where the research will be conducted. This helps ensure the institution’s commitment to the project and will provide everything necessary to make it a success.

Are there specific areas of research RSNA is interested in funding?

No, we encourage applicants to apply for funding in any area of research in the radiologic sciences. All applications are reviewed on their own merit. Preferential funding isn’t given to specific areas or topics.

How do I apply?

All grant applications are completed online using a series of text boxes, drop-down lists and user uploads. As you finish each section of the application it will be marked as “complete” in the table of contents, so you can easily track your progress. To view your full application for a final check before submitting, click the “Preview Application PDF” at the top of the table of contents page.

I’ve already received a grant from the RSNA R&E Foundation. Can I apply for another?

For the most part, you can. It’s not uncommon for grant recipients to receive multiple years of funding for the same or different grant programs. You can technically receive all of the research grants over time (Medical Student, Resident/Fellow, Seed and Scholar). However, once you receive the Research Scholar Grant—whether it’s your first R&E Foundation grant, or not—you are no longer eligible for any RSNA research grant and will need to find funding through the NIH. There is no limit on the number of education grants you can receive.
