The 新澳门六合彩官网® (新澳门六合彩官网®) awarded two teams the 2023 Fund for Collaborative Research in Imaging (FCRI) grant, a one-time investment to fuel compelling, innovative research that may advance the practice of radiology. The selected teams — determined through an extensive review process — are Amir Iravani, MD (University of Washington) and Delphine Chen, MD (University of Washington), and Elizabeth Sadowski, MD (University of Wisconsin Madison) and Caroline Reinhold, MD (McGill University Montreal), the principal investigators on the research projects.
“We’re excited for and supportive of the FCRI awardees for 2023, and are happy to be contributing to the field of theranostics and research registries with these projects, respectively,” said Etta Pisano, MD, F新澳门六合彩官网, 新澳门六合彩官网 chief research officer. “The FCRI is a valuable mechanism for researchers to accomplish a proof of concept that can then lead to innovative outcomes in the field of radiology. We look forward to working with Doctors Chen and Iravani, and Doctors Sadowski and Reinhold, completing their projects successfully, and collaborating on future research.”
Drs. Iravani and Chen will study PSMA theranostics and molecular imaging biomarkers and the critical knowledge gaps that prevent the ability to move forward with implementing biomarkers in multicenter clinical trials and clinical practice. The preliminary thresholds and criteria developed in this study in collaboration with 新澳门六合彩官网 will be applied in a multicenter repository database for external validation and potential incorporation into clinical practice and trials.
Drs. Sadowski and Reinhold will create an Ovarian Reporting and Data System (O-RADS™) research repository. The overall goal of the registry is to provide a large cohort of curated cases with clinical data that can be utilized by multiple investigators for future studies aimed at assessing diagnostic accuracy, clinical outcomes, healthcare disparities, population health, and studies involving AI and machine learning.
Awardees are selected from 新澳门六合彩官网 member applicants working on projects related to the domains of the College’s research committees: molecular imaging, pediatric imaging, cardiothoracic radiology, neuroradiology, head injury and interventional radiology. The 新澳门六合彩官网 Center for Research and Innovation™ received 11 full applications and the two awardees were chosen after reviews with the Research Selection committee.
Grants are available to full-time faculty and trainees with an MD, DO, PhD, or equivalent degree in educational institutions and private practices within the United States.
