Advance the practice of radiology and improve patient care through education, research, and innovation in medical imaging.
Radiological Society of North America Inc centers its grantmaking on radiology education, research, and professional advancement, with its largest recent contribution going to The Academy for Radiology at $165,000 in 2025. That scale sits alongside a mix of smaller professional-society grants and targeted support for education and research through its Research & Education Foundation programs. The foundation’s public grant pattern shows a strong emphasis on the organizations that shape radiology practice, standards, and training. In recent awards, American Assoc of Physicists in Medicine received $70,000 in both 2023 and 2025, while the American College of Radiology received $25,000 in each of those years. The foundation also supports radiology-related scholarship and education through named programs for residents, fellows, students, and faculty, as well as seed funding for pilot studies and project development. Its stated purpose is to advance the practice of radiology and improve patient care through education, research, and innovation in medical imaging, and the grant list reflects that mandate in practice.
Education is a clear pillar of the foundation’s work. Through the R&E Foundation Education Grant Program, it funds new educational content, products, and other innovative methods for radiology faculty, radiologists, and support personnel. A separate Education Project Award supports new or ongoing education projects and curriculum development. Research training is another major theme: the Resident/Fellow Research Grant supports trainees developing projects under mentorship, and the Medical Student Research Grant helps students build research skills in medical imaging. The foundation also backs research development, including the Research Seed Grant for pilot studies and method development, with support for AI and machine learning applications in imaging. For career development, the Research Scholar Grant provides two-year funding of $150,000 for junior faculty transitioning toward independent investigation. International education appears in the Derek Harwood-Nash International Education Scholar Grant, which supports scholars and projects with an international scope.
Typical grants cluster tightly around a $25,000 median, with a lower quartile of $9,782 and an upper quartile of $25,000. The portfolio includes both small professional-society contributions and larger commitments, including awards at $70,000 and $165,000. The recent record also shows repeat support across years for several recipients, indicating recurring relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is a nonprofit grantmaker rather than an operating funder, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Some programs accept unsolicited applications, while others do not, so the application route depends on the specific program.

Giving is national, and the recipient country distribution is entirely U.S.-based in the provided recent-grants sample. Washington, DC appears frequently among recipients, including The Academy for Radiology, the National Academy of Sciences, and the Association of American Medical Colleges. Virginia is the top state by grant count, with recipients in Alexandria, Reston, and Leesburg appearing multiple times. Illinois recipients also appear, including Oak Brook for Ihe International. The grant list shows a concentrated domestic pattern rather than international operating geography.
Its stated focus is radiology, medical imaging research, artificial intelligence in imaging, education and training, research grants and fellowships, and publication and dissemination. The active program list also shows support for trainee research, education content, education projects, and seed funding for pilot studies.
The typical grant size is $25,000. The grant-size distribution places the 25th percentile at $9,782 and the 75th percentile at $25,000, which shows a concentration around that level.
Some programs do.
