ASNR Research Scientist Award – Jack Grinband

Grant Recipient Year:

Detecting Non-enhancing Glioblastoma Using Resting-State fMRI

The ASNR Research Scientist Award has allowed me to collect data that was used to apply for, and win, the 2016 Irving Institute Imaging Pilot Award. This award will be used to test whether the signal to noise of the BOLD biomarker can be further improved by using hypercapnia. Finally, I am currently writing an R01 proposal for submission for the Feb 5th deadline. The aims of the proposal are to collect localized biopsies in glioblastoma and low grade glioma and determine whether regions that are high BOLD/low FLAIR and high FLAIR/low BOLD are histological different and identify different mechanisms of tumor infiltration. Neither the Irving Institute Imaging Award or the R01 proposal would have been possible without the ASNR Research Scientist Award. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity that ASNR gave me.

ASNR-CE Award – Kristen W. Yeom

Grant Recipient Year:

We believe we have made significant strides in our investigation with the help of the ASNR-CE Award…Our preliminary work stemming from this ASNR-CE Award also was key to us obtaining the R21 NIH grant (awarded April 2016).. One of my research focuses has been to optimize pediatric neuroimaging in the most effective and child-friendly means possible. Receiving this award has supported my academic career and allowed me to further pursue this goal.. Which, I believe, help our team continue to build and improve our work on fast MRI tailored to pediatric brain. Through the generosity and support of the ASNR Foundation, I was better able to dedicate my time and resources to achieving one of my important research goals as a pediatric neuroradiologist. The award also helped provide funds needed to help our research scientists achieve their technical goals. Our team will always be grateful to the ASNR Foundation for this extraordinary opportunity to contribute to the field of neuroradiology and pediatric neuroimaging.
