DESCRIPTION
Goal:
This grant is intended to introduce high-achieving students to molecular imaging and targeted radiotherapy as a potential career path by supporting their participation in a molecular imaging/therapy research project.
Discussion:
Nuclear medicine (NM), molecular imaging (MI), and targeted radionuclide therapy (TRT) technology is rapidly expanding. There is a need for highly trained physicians and scientists, critical for realizing the full potential of recent advances. However, many students are not introduced to nuclear medicine until late in their medical school education or graduate training, after many may have already selected a different specialty. This grant affords high-achieving students the opportunity to participate in a molecular imaging/therapy research project of their choosing.
About:
This grant allows medical/scientist students the opportunity to gain research experience in NM, MI, and TRT before they select a residency program or during their first two years of graduate school. Recipients will define objectives and develop research skills to be used in their career. This experience will afford students the opportunity to consider NM/MI as a future career option.
Nature of Projects:
Any area of research in the molecular medical/science imaging sciences is eligible for funding. Projects may include:
Award Amount:
Recipients will receive $5,000 per student for the 10-week research project. This is a stipend for the medical/science student. Funds are intended to secure time for the recipient and may not be used for other purposes.
REQUIREMENTS
