Trainee Stipend Application Details

The workshop organizers welcome applications for trainee stipends. These trainee stipends, funded by the ISMRM Research & Education Fund, are intended to partially subsidize the attendance of clinical trainees (including residents and fellows) within 7 years of obtaining an M.D. or equivalent degree, pre- and post-doctoral fellows within 5 years of obtaining a Ph.D. or equivalent degree, and junior research staff (technologists or research assistants) within 3 years of obtaining a higher degree. Priority will be given to applicants who are first authors on abstracts selected for presentation, but this is not a requirement.

Application Requirements

The applicant must be a Trainee Member of ISMRM. If you are not yet a Trainee Member, please click here for information on joining the society. The deadline to become a member to apply for the Trainee Stipend is the same as the abstract submission deadline above.

Please have all stipend submission documents ready before proceeding with the following form, including:

1. A signed letter addressed to ISMRM and the Workshop Organizers from the applicant requesting support that includes a statement indicating how this workshop may benefit the applicant's current or future research or training;
2. The applicant's curriculum vitae; and
3. A signed letter addressed to ISMRM and the Workshop Organizers from the applicant's supervisor confirming the applicant's eligibility for a trainee stipend. The letter should also address financial need and whether requests for support are being made for more than one member of the same group.

Please note: If a stipend is granted to a qualified applicant, a check will be made out or funds will be electronically transferred only to the applicant and not the applicant's institution or supervisor.
