Radiology - Research Seed Grant

Radiological Society of North America(RSNA)

This R&E Foundation Research Seed Grant gives investigators around the world the chance to define objectives and test hypotheses in preparation for larger grant applications at corporations, foundations and government agencies. The seed data from the projects we fund will give investigators a better idea of feasibility and directionality of research before applying for more funds from other sources.

Nature of projects

Any area of research in the radiologic sciences is eligible for funding. Projects may include any of the following:

Hypothesis-driven basic science
Clinical investigation
Drug, device or therapy development
Comparative effectiveness
Evidence-based radiology
Ethics and professionalism
Quality improvement
Clinical practice efficiency
Imaging informatics

Please note, though any of the above topics are accepted, projects focused on advancing imaging science, developing or evaluating medical imaging technology or making innovative use of imaging science to answer important biologic or clinical questions are encouraged.

This grant mechanism will be open to all levels of radiologic investigators, with an established academic appointment.

Applications should describe the unique nature of the research effort independent of existing research efforts. Greater emphasis will be placed on the likelihood of this research to attract future funding given the nature and extent of the preliminary data collected within the cycle of the grant.

Award amount

Grant recipients receive up to $60,000 for a one-year project to be used as support for the preliminary or pilot phase of that project. Funds may not be used to supplement previously-secured major funding.

Questions and Answers

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

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 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 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.

Are there any word or page limits?

Yes, there are. Many sections have word and/or page limits, which are stated in the instructions for that section of that particular grant. The detailed research/education plan is limited to two pages for the Medical Student Research Grant application and five pages for all other grants. Keep in mind, page limits include images, tables and other graphics, though additional pages may be used for references. Try to avoid appendices unless absolutely necessary—they’re more common in education grant applications than research grants. Whenever you do use an appendix, do not use it to extend your detailed plan. It is important you don’t exceed the stated page and/or word limits. Study section reviewers may refuse to review applications that violate these restrictions.

Are signatures required?

Yes, signatures are always required on grant applications. Just enter the names and contact information for your institution’s grant administrator, department chair and scientific advisor (if applicable). Then, download the signature page, obtain signatures and scan and upload everything back into the application. The uploaded document will automatically be incorporated into the finished application PDF.
