Mission & Focus Areas
The Society states that it is organized for scientific, educational, and charitable purposes and promotes excellence in patient care and health care delivery through education, research, and technological innovation. Its activities include a medical imaging meeting with educational and scientific programming, publications, and support for research and education in radiology and related disciplines.
The Research & Education Foundation describes its mission as investing in the future of radiology by developing investigators and supporting innovative research and education. Its grants include research and education opportunities. Research grants serve medical students, residents and fellows, faculty testing new research ideas, and early-career faculty developing independent research programs. The Foundation lists priority topics for the 2027–28 grant cycle, including radiology efficiency, community health applications of routine imaging and screening, imaging in vulnerable populations, access and efficiency, and theranostics. It also welcomes proposals outside those topics if they support its mission and meet funding criteria.
The 2025 filing lists contributions to organizations in radiology, medical physics, imaging informatics, radiation protection, and scientific research. For example, the Academy for Radiology & Biomedical describes its mission as raising the profile of imaging research through education and advocacy; the American Association of Physicists in Medicine describes its mission as advancing medicine through medical physics science, education, and professional practice. These are the grantees’ stated missions, not the Society’s.
Grantmaking
In filing year 2025, the Society reported 11 grants totaling $386,349. Grant amounts ranged from $5,000 to $167,500, with a median of $25,000. The largest listed grants were $167,500 to the Academy for Radiology, $70,000 to the American Association of Physicists in Medicine, and $30,000 to the Section on Radiology & Radiation Oncology Foundation. The filing lists each of these as a contribution.
The Foundation’s website describes grants for research and education. Its research programs include awards for medical students, residents and fellows, investigators developing pilot ideas, and junior faculty establishing independent research programs. Applicants may submit only one research or education grant application per funding cycle, must be RSNA members at application and throughout the award, and must meet the eligibility requirements for the specific grant. Applications commonly require a project title, abstract, research proposal, budget and justification, biosketches, institutional approvals, and required signatures; requirements vary by program. The Foundation says applicants may apply to the same grant more than once unless its eligibility rules prohibit it.
