The project must be approved by your medical school. Eligible candidates must be members of RSNA and full-time students at accredited medical schools in North America. You have to conduct your research in your university's radiology, radiation oncology or nuclear medicine departments. Applicants can't have other grants in the same years totaling more than $60,000.
