The R&E Foundation Medical Student Research Grant gives medical students the opportunity to gain research experience in medical imaging while they're still in school. Recipients will define objectives, develop research skills and test hypotheses, all before choosing a residency program. Ultimately, this experience gives students a chance to consider academic radiology as a future career option. In order to attract the brightest young researchers to radiology, the R&E Foundation will award additional grants for medical students who identify as minorities underrepresented in medicine (UIM). Applicants must be an RSNA member to apply for the Medical Student Research Grant. All applicants must be a medical student at an accredited North American medical school. They must commit to working full-time for at least 10 weeks on their research project. The research project must take place in a department of radiology, radiation oncology or nuclear medicine in a North American medical institution, but this doesn't have to be the same institution where the applicant is enrolled as a student. Applicants cannot have been a principal investigator on a grant or contract totaling more than $60,000 in a single year. Applicants and their principal investigators cannot be employed by any for-profit, commercial company in the radiologic sciences. UIM applicants must be from racial and ethnic populations who are underrepresented in the medical profession relative to their numbers in the general population.
