Pediatric Radiology Pilot Award

The deadline for receipt of applications is March 15.

In response to surveys of the membership, surveys of past grant recipients and SPR Board discussions, in February 2010, the SPR Research and Education Foundation established the Pediatric Radiology Pilot award.

This new grant award is designed to provide a higher level of support for pediatric radiology-related projects of merit.

This grant can be used to fund protected time.
Amount – up to $50,000.

Funding will be based on merit, including expertise and available resources, but should also endeavor to focus on unique aspects of imaging or image-guided therapy/intervention in children, promote the importance of imaging or imaging expertise in improving health care in children, embrace broader cross boundary impact, including public policy or translational medicine, cultivate multidisciplinary cooperation, and provide opportunities for additional funding

Beginning in 2011, SPR Seed and Pilot grants will be applied for using the Common Application through the IORC website: www.radresearch.org.

John Dorst - Felix Fleischner Seed Grant in Thoracic Pediatric Radiology

The SPR Research and Education Foundation is happy to announce the establishment of the Dorst-Fleischner Seed Grant in Pediatric Thoracic Radiology.

The Dorst-Fleischner award is made possible by a donation from Dr. Jerry Kuhn, SPR Past President and Gold medalist, who wished to both recognize his mentors and foster excellence in pediatric thoracic radiology research.

The new seed grant will be awarded in the course of the SPR REF’s traditional grant review and funding process.

The REF Board accepts applications for seed grants in two cycles each year—applications due October 15 and March 15.

Additional application information and forms can be found on the Research and Education page of the SPR website at www.pedrad.org or by contacting Jennifer Boylan at jboylan@acr.org.
