Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) - Research Medical Student Grant at Penn

The RSNA Research Medical Student Grant aims to make radiology research opportunities possible for medical students and to encourage them, early in their medical careers, to consider academic radiology. Students are expected to complete a 10 week, full-time (or equivalent) research project under the guidance of a scientific advisor in the department of Radiology or Radiation Oncology at Penn. Funding is $3,000 from RSNA and $3,000 from the department of Radiology or Radiation Oncology at Penn for a total stipend of $6,000 for the medical student.

This grant requires students to complete a 10 week, full-time (or equivalent) project. The grant mechanism is most appropriate for students who have had some prior experience with Radiology Research and/or are currently working with a faculty member on Radiology-related research. Applications should involve well-formed projects with an established mentor and preparation should begin months in advance of deadline. Students doing a Radiology-related Masters-In-Translational Research (MTR) may also consider applying. 

- If interested in Radiology project please contact Dr. David Mankoff.

Once you've found a mentor and project, contact Beverly Collins to request departmental and institutional approval for a Radiology and Radiation Oncology grant, and email her the research project and faculty mentor by January 8.
