Overview:
The International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine is
pleased to announce its annual seed grant program, with an emphasis
on interdisciplinary research and MD/Ph.D. collaboration. Two
US$25,000 grants will be awarded in 2012, one for each of the
following topics:
1.
Outcome/Cost Effectiveness
2. Molecular & Cellular CNS Imaging
Eligibility:
The seed grant competition is only open to clinical and basic
scientists at or just beyond the postgraduate, fellow and junior
faculty levels working in MR research in academia, industry, or
research institutions. Typical applicants are expected to have more
than the equivalent of five years’ postdoctoral (e.g., Ph.D. or
comparable) or 3 years of post-residency (e.g., M.D. or comparable)
research, as documented by a curriculum vitae. The applicant would
be expected to be in a position to do independent research and a
letter of confirming this will be required from the applicant's
supervisor, mentor, or department head. In addition, applicants
must be current members of the ISMRM.
Review Criteria:
A)
Topics:
Outcome/Cost Effectiveness
