Funding Details
Requirements: Eligibility:
Eligible candidates must be full-time faculty members at an accredited educational institution in the United States or Canada.
Candidate must hold an MD, DO, PhD, or equivalent degree.
Applicants must be members of the Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR)..
Applicants should be individuals who have not yet been recognized as independent investigators or recipients of major grant support (i.e., current grants exceeding $50,000, excluding internal institutional funding).
Only full-time faculty are eligible for this grant.
Applicants must be within the first seven years of their initial faculty appointment after having completed all formal training. Only applicants holding a position up to and including the Assistant Professor level at the time of application are eligible.
Applications will be accepted from citizens of the United States or Canada or those who have permanent resident status therein. Permanent residents must submit documentation of their status.
If an applicant is at an institution in the US or Canada and is on a visa, a letter from the department chair guaranteeing completion of the project will be required.
The grant may be applied towards the applicant’s salary and it is expected that the applicant will have a minimum of 30% dedicated research time. Only one application may be submitted in a given year from each institution. Support from the applicant’s chair is required. In addition, the applicant must have a mentor who will guide and supervise the proposed research. The mentor should have documented research interests and accomplishments in the applicant’s research area and must hold a position at the assistant professor level or higher.
Grant recipients will not be eligible for concurrent support through other SIR Foundation Research Grants. SIR Foundation will not accept applications that are essentially the same as one already reviewed and funded through another organization. There can be no scientific overlap.
Scientific overlap occurs when (1) the same research proposal is submitted to more than one application or submitted to two or more funding sources for funding consideration and (2) specific research objective and research design are the same or are closely related in two or more applications.
Other info: The Dr. Ernest J. Ring Academic Development Grant's purpose is to provide support to junior interventional radiology faculty members early in their academic careers to allow time for the conduct of research. The goal of this grant is to have the recipient subsequently obtain additional funding from other peer-reviewed sources, (e.g., National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants).
