Radiology - Resident/Fellow Research Grant

Radiological Society of North America(RSNA)

This R&E Foundation grant gives young radiologists the chance to gain insight and experience in scientific investigation while they’re still in training. Our funding supports them as they learn research techniques and methods early, and sets recipients up for careers in academic radiologic science.

Application cycle open

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.

Award amount

Resident grant recipients receive up to $50,000 fellow grant recipients receive up to $75,000 for research projects. Funds may be used for salary support or non-personnel research expenses.

Eligibility Requirements

Any resident or fellow may apply for this grant, as long as you are an RSNA member. If you’re a non dues-paying member, your scientific advisor or your co-investigator must be a dues-paying member. You must also meet the following criteria:

North American applicants

You must be a resident or fellow in a department of radiology, radiation oncology, nuclear medicine or medical physics.
Resident grant: If you’re a radiology, radiation oncology or nuclear medicine resident, you must complete your internship year and at least six months of specialty training in radiologic sciences. If you’re a medical physics resident, you must have completed at least six months of residency training.
Fellow grant: You must be in the last year of, or have completed, residency training and you must be in a fellowship position while you’re being funded.
You must be certified by the American Board of Radiology (ABR) or The Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, or on track for certification.

You must already be accepted into a one or two year fellowship position at a North American education institution at the time of application.
You must be in the last year of, or have completed, residency training.
You must be certified by the radiology board in your home country, or on track for certification.
Your research project must be completed while you’re at a North American institution.

All applicants

You cannot have ever held a faculty position in the radiologic sciences at or above an assistant professor, or equivalent position.
You cannot have been a principal investigator on a grant or contract totaling more than $60,000 in a single year. This includes single and combined grants and contracts from government, private and commercial sources.
You and your principal investigators cannot be employed by any for-profit, commercial company in the radiologic sciences.
You cannot submit more than one grant application to the RSNA R&E Foundation a year, and cannot have a concurrent RSNA grant.

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.
