Research Scholar Grant

R&E Foundation

Research Scholar Grant

Deadline Date: January 15, 2009

Purpose: To support junior faculty members who have completed the conventional resident/fellowship training program(s), but have not yet been recognized as independent investigators. Recipients will devote a minimum of 50% of their time to the approved research project.

Nature of Projects: Any area of research related to the radiologic sciences.

Amount: $75,000 annually for 2 years ($150,000 total) to be used as salary support for the scholar. Funds are intended to secure protected time for the recipient and may not be used for non-personnel research expenses. An additional $1,000 will be paid to the institution each year to help cover costs associated with the Scholar Advisor Program.

Eligibility:

Applicant must be nominated by the department chair. While applications are accepted from departments that currently host Scholar Grant recipients, only one new nomination may be submitted per department per year.
Applicant must hold a full-time faculty position in a department of radiology, radiation oncology, or nuclear medicine within a North American educational institution at the time of application.
Applicant must be within 5 years of initial faculty appointment with an academic rank of instructor or assistant professor, (or equivalent).
Applicant must have completed advanced training and be certified by the American Board of Radiology (ABR) or equivalent, or on track for certification. See the American Board of Radiology Website for details, TheABR.org.
Applicant must not have been principal investigator on grant/contract amounts totaling $50,000 or more in a single calendar year. The restriction on prior funding includes support from single or combined grants or contracts from any source including government, private or industrial/commercial sources. RSNA Fellow/Fellowship grants may be excluded from total.
Applicant/co-principal investigator(s) must not be agents of any for-profit, commercial company in the radiologic sciences.
Applicant may not submit more than one research or education grant application to the RSNA R&E Foundation per year.
Acceptance of an award from another source for the same project is prohibited unless one source provides only salary support and the other source provides only support for non-personnel research expenses.
Recipients may not have concurrent RSNA grants.

Application: Proceed to the Online Grant Application System
