2009 R&E Grants Awarded
THE RSNA Research & Education (R&E) Foundation will fund 35 new and continuing research and education grants in 2009, representing nearly $1.7 million. The Foundation’s Board of Trustees noted an increase in the number of educa-tion grant applications received and funded compared to previous years. In addition, 26 medical students received grants for summer projects. A complete listing of the 2009 grant projects is available at RSNA.org/Foundation.
To make grant funding decisions, the Foundation relies on a rigorous review process similar to the one used by the National Institutes of Health, using study sections to evaluate and score applications. Members of the research and education study sections have expertise in diagnostic and interventional radiology, molecular imaging, radiation oncology, medical physics and radiologic education.
For information on volunteering for an R&E study section, contact Scott Walter, M.S., assistant director of grant administration, at 1-630-571-7816 or swalter@rsna.org.
