Created in 1984 to advance radiologic research and education across multiple subspecialties, the RSNA R&E Foundation provides a critical source of early support and protected time for young investigators to nurture their studies. It has awarded more than 1,300 grants and, thanks to donor support, blossomed from funding two grants totaling $100,000 thirty years ago to over $4 million in 2017 alone, much in part due to the success of the Foundation’s Inspire-Innovate-Invest Campaign that raised $17.5 million to fund radiology research.
The R&E Foundation creates opportunity at all career levels, especially as funding from other major sources becomes scarce. Since its inception, it has funded more than $55 million in grants—but the real value is far greater. Surveys show that for every $1 granted by the Foundation, recipients have received over 50 additional dollars in subsequent funding from other sources like the NIH.
