Nature of projects and focus areas
Beginning with the 2026 grant cycle, the R&E Foundation is excited to introduce a new priority focus areas funding initiative, designed to support transformative research in cutting-edge, underfunded and high-impact disciplines as identified by the Board of Trustees. These areas represent opportunities for innovation and advancement in radiology and are a strategic focus for the Foundation moving forward.
2026 approved priority areas include:
- Precision medicine: Theranostics
- Imaging in vulnerable populations
- Efficiencies in radiology and opportunities for improvement
- Personalized care in pediatric imaging
- Cybersecurity in radiology departments
- Increasing access and efficiency: Doing more with less
While proposals aligned with these priority areas are strongly encouraged, the Foundation continues to welcome investigator-initiated applications across the full spectrum of radiologic education. This includes projects with an international scope such as curriculum development, hands-on teaching initiatives, region-specific education in emerging nations, and training for medical students, residents, fellows, CME participants and allied health professionals.
