The RSNA Medical Student Research Grant 2027 supports supervised student research in radiology and related disciplines.
Funding and commitment
RSNA’s Research and Education Foundation provides US$3,000, and the sponsoring department must contribute another US$3,000. The resulting US$6,000 supports the student stipend. Recipients undertake eight to ten full-time research weeks within a one-year project period.
Eligibility
Applicants must be full-time students at accredited North American medical schools and RSNA members in good standing. Student membership is free. Research must take place in a North American educational institution’s radiology, radiation oncology or nuclear medicine department, with a scientific adviser. Only one Foundation grant application is permitted per year, with no concurrent Foundation award.
Application documents
Arrange the departmental match and signatures early. The online application includes an abstract, plain-language summary and project information. Prepare a combined PDF containing biosketches, resources/environment, research plan, other support, applicable collaboration letters, signature page and an AI disclosure if applicable. Follow the official ordering instructions. Radiation oncology projects need the specified imaging component or radiology-affiliated adviser, mentor or co-investigator.
Deadline
Apply by 5 February 2027, 11:59pm CT.
