Dr. Ernest J. Ring Academic Development Grant
Society of Interventional Radiology

This grant program, named after Ernest J. Ring, MD, the founder of the SIR Foundation, is designed to provide support to junior Interventional Radiology faculty members early in their academic careers to allow time for the conduct of research. The goal of this program is to have the grant recipient subsequently obtain additional funding from other sources, e.g., National Institutes of Health (NIH) grants.

Additional comments: Eligibility: Junior Faculty with a MD, DO, PhD, or equivalent degree in educational institutions in the United States and Canada; should be members of SIR but not mandatory. $100,000 over two years. Applicants should be individuals who have not yet been recognized as independent investigators or recipients of major grant support (i.e., current grants exceeding $50,000). Those in residencies or fellowships or those generally considered advanced students in training rather than full-time faculty are not eligible for this grant. Applicants must be within the first five years of their initial faculty appointment after having completed all formal training. Only applicants holding a position up to and including the assistant professor level at the time of application are eligible. Applications will be accepted from citizens of the United States or Canada or those who have permanent resident status therein. Permanent residents must submit documentation of their status. If an applicant is at an institution in the US or Canada and is on a visa, a letter from the department chair guaranteeing completion of the project will be required.
