Diversity and Inclusiveness

Supporting IR through grant funding for diversity initiatives

A key initiative for SIR is foster diversity within interventional radiology support diversity initiatives through research and programing at the local or institution level aimed at increasing diversity within the specialty.

SIR has created a microgrant program to support the research of a PI who is a woman or underrepresented minority; or for research which increases awareness of the diversity and inclusiveness for the specialty.

The purpose of this initiative is to encourage women and underrepresented minorities to engage in scholarly research related to IR.
The secondary goal is to encourage research into topics that explore issues that affect/enhance diversity in IR.

Furthermore, institutions are eligible to apply for grant support for program events that address early outreach and awareness aimed at racially and ethnically diverse students who are in medical school.
