The European Society of Radiology (ESR), in cooperation with the European Institute for Biomedical Imaging Research (EIBIR), is creating the ESR Research Seed Grant initiative for 2022 and is calling for applications.
The program aims to stimulate and provide funding for innovative projects and pilot studies that will lead to larger studies and further funding applications. Funding is for up to three grantees for two years. The maximum funding amount for each project is 14,000 euros.
The call for proposals is open to researchers of all ages working in radiology departments in an Eastern European, Central Asian, or African country. Applicants must be members of the ESR. The project proposed should not have previously received funding from another grant or be part of another ongoing project application.
Project proposals must align with the ESR Research Seed Grant Global thematic areas. These include enhancing quality in radiological imaging and interventional radiology and value-based radiology. Focus will be placed on, but not limited to, research in ultrasound, CT, and conventional imaging. For further details, visit the EIBIR website.
