“I learned a lot from the CTMW workshop and I am incredibly thankful to all the amazing faculty for their input and suggestions that helped me create successful NIH grant proposals. In the last year, I received two NIH awards, an R03 and an R01, that are both related to the research proposal that I developed at the CTMW workshop.”

- Demonstrates the importance of research in the radiologic sciences
- Highlights the excitement of a career in research and potential mentors
A $1,000 award will be made to the departments of accepted applicants to be used to help advance the applicants’ academic careers. There are no fees associated with this program. Learn more and apply.
Introduction to Academic Radiology for Scientists (ITARSc)
Postdoctoral fellows and early-stage researchers in imaging sciences and biomedical engineering who received their degrees within the past six years are invited to apply for this opportunity to participate in a dynamic program to be held during RSNA 2024. Program objectives include:
- Introducing participants to the scope of research in the radiologic sciences
- Highlighting the important role of postdoctoral degrees in the radiologic sciences
- Identifying keys to success for postdoctoral scientists in imaging research
The program consists of a combination of dedicated programming for ITARSc participants and shared sessions with participants in the ITAR program. Selected participants will receive a $1,000 stipend to offset travel and hotel costs as well as free registration for the RSNA annual meeting. Learn more and apply.
Introduction to Academic Radiology for Junior Faculty (ITARJF)
Faculty members who have been out of training for no more than five years and who are interested in becoming involved in radiology research either as a principal investigator (PI), co-PI or collaborator are invited to apply for this opportunity. Participants must be active RSNA members.
Program objectives for junior faculty members include:
- Introducing participants to the many opportunities available for conducting research in radiology and demonstrating its importance in radiologic sciences
- Preparing participants for involvement in research as a PI, co-PI or collaborator
- Providing participants further opportunities to enhance their research training through more advanced workshops and courses
