Grant Recipients
Since its inception in 1995, The Foundation of the American Society of Neuroradiology has awarded nearly $6 Million dollars to fund 100 young investigators enabling them to pursue their interests and establish themselves in the field of neuroradiology. Over $340,000 in grants is awarded annually. Your support is paramount to the Foundation’s ability to continue funding opportunities for promising young investigators. Philanthropic investment of major donors who understand the importance of research in neuroradiology will yield more expert diagnoses, leading to targeted care for patients and more sophisticated approaches to sensitive, complex, and devastating diseases.

Comparative Effectiveness Research Award Recipients
This award was created to support investigators in the generation and synthesis of evidence that compares the benefits and harms of diagnostic imaging methods or interventions to prevent, diagnose, treat and monitor a clinical condition or to improve the delivery of care. Comparative effectiveness research (CER) is valuable to clinicians, patients, purchasers, and policy makers in making informed decisions that will improve health care at both the individual and population levels. CER includes the direct comparison of diagnostic imaging modalities or interventions for a specific disease in a study population. Neuroradiologists have an important role in the development of new imaging technologies and image-guided procedures, as well as in the assessment of these techniques in the clinical care of patients.

Scholar Award in Neuroradiology Research
This award was created for investigators in the early phase of their careers (including junior faculty) to enhance competency in areas important to the future of Neuroradiology, including health services research, physiological imaging and interventional Neuroradiology. These projects allow a young investigator to develop a research project in a well-focused area of Neuroradiology that will ultimately enhance patient care. In the recent past, successful applications have focused on such topics as: (1) flow dynamics in aneurysms, (2) exploration of the use of diffusion tensor imaging in premature newborns, and (3) validation of CT perfusion algorithms in animal models.

Trainee Research Award Recipients
This newly created award has been established by the Foundation of the American Society of Neuroradiology to support and to foster high quality, in-depth neuroradiology research among trainees (fellows and residents matched in a neuroradiology program) who are committed to a career in neuroradiology. The goal of this award is encourage investigators in the infancy of their careers and foster the need for continued and evolving neuroradiology research; as well as to identify and develop future leaders in the sub-specialty.

Women in Neuroradiology Leadership Award Recipients
In 2012, the Foundation of the American Society of Neuroradiology (Foundation), American College of Radiology (ACR), and American Association for Women Radiologists (AAWR) established an award to provide leadership opportunities for women in neuroradiology and/or radiology overall. Since neuroradiologists must be leaders in the field, this award is for mid-career women with demonstrated experience and promise for leadership in neuroradiology and/or radiology overall. The objectives are to provide the award recipient with additional skills and insights to enhance opportunities for advancement.
