Purpose
The ARRS Scholarship supports early-career faculty members in study/research in the radiologic sciences that has the possibility of changing the way radiology is practiced. The recognition and financial support aim to advance the early-career scholar professionally and to help prepare them for positions of leadership. The Scholarship is funded through The Roentgen Fund® of the ARRS.
Medical schools, affiliated hospitals, and clinical research institutions with interests in training and research in diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, the basic sciences, or professions fundamental to imaging techniques are invited to submit one nomination annually.
The ARRS Roentgen Fund Board of Trustees may select up to two awards annually. The Scholarship is a two-year program, $180,000 total over two years, requiring a minimum 20 percent time commitment for each year. The funds may be used for salary support; for scholarship-related travel costs (including travel to the ARRS Annual Meeting for selection and presentation years); and, in support of the Scholar’s study related to the project plan, including for study outside the parent institution (training/tuition expenses may not exceed 20% of the total scholarship funding).
The scholarship funds will be paid to the Scholar’s department for funding to the recipient. In this way, the ARRS shares the responsibility with the medical institution for the Scholar’s development.
