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.
