In 2014 The Academy for Radiology & Biomedical Imaging Research Academic Council offered 12 travel awards for early career investigators from Member Departments to attend the annual Coalition for Imaging and Bioengineering Research (CIBR) Medical Technology Imaging Showcase in Washington DC. These awards created a unique opportunity for investigators to learn first-hand how to advocate for imaging research, discuss research with policy makers and visit the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Each travel awardee meets with NIH Directors and staff, their Congressional Representatives, and have the option to display a research poster they design from their home Institution during the Showcase. Additionally, there are incredible networking opportunities with Academic Chairs, patient advocacy leaders, and Congressional staff.
Each year new early career investigators are selected and become a part of this prestigious Academy tradition. Below is a list of past Travel Award Recipients.
