R&E Foundation Provides Resources for Grant Application Success

The RSNA R&E Foundation offers an online guide to help researchers develop initial research ideas and build them into projects suitable for Foundation grant opportunities.

The guide starts at the earliest phase of idea development with tips on how to take an area of curiosity and fine tune it into a relevant research topic.

Once a topic is selected, the guide describes steps researchers should follow to create a research project. In addition to forming a research question and writing a hypothesis, the guide suggests developing specific objectives and goals, defining a target audience or determining participants and designing the research. It also provides considerations for creating methods, collecting and analyzing data and handling outcomes and conclusions.
