Welcome to The Foundation of the American Society of Neuroradiology.

As the philanthropic arm of the American Society of Neuroradiology, the Foundation's mission is to promote education and research in the field of Neuroradiology and the development of new ideas for clinical practice. The Foundation accomplishes its mission by providing invaluable support to the education and research of Neuroradiology through a variety of grant programs and annual sponsorship of the Symposium at the ASNR Annual Meeting. We are fortunate to be in a specialty that is centered on both clinical innovation and excellence in patient care. In order for us to maintain our leadership role in Neuroradiology, a considerable amount of effort and funds needs to be invested in education and research.

Recent awards presented by the Foundation include the Basic Science Research Award, Scholar Award in Neuroradiology Research,and Research Scientist Award. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, this past year, the Foundation distributed $120,000 in awards for Neuroradiology research.

The Foundation of the ASNR Symposium 2011 focused on Neuroradiology of Trauma, Advanced Imaging of Neurotrauma. Nearly 700 physicians attended the two-day Symposium that focused on biology, diagnosis, imaging, and management of trauma.

Generous contributions from ASNR members and our corporate partners enable the Foundation to invest in educational opportunities and clinically relevant research that will advance Neuroradiology and enhance patient care. The contribution of every Neuroradiologist plays an important role in enabling the Foundation to ensure the future of our specialty. Your generous support will make a tremendous impact in funding our greatest opportunities, breakthrough research, patient and family resources as well as professional education.

Your support of The Foundation of the American Society of Neuroradiology makes a difference.
