The ARRS/Philips Healthcare Scholarship is intended to support study in a field selected by the scholar that will enable the scholar to attain his or her professional career goal.
By giving both recognition and financial support to the activities and studies of young radiologists, the ARRS helps to prepare them for positions of leadership in academic radiology. This purpose is in accordance with the definition of scholar as one who attends a school or studies under a teacher.
Medical schools, affiliated hospitals and clinical research institutions with interests in training and research in diagnostic radiology, nuclear medicine, the basic sciences or professions fundamental to imaging techniques are invited to submit one nomination annually.
The ARRS Research Committee may select up to one $140,000 award annually. The scholar may choose a one-year program requiring a minimum 80 percent time commitment, or a two-year program requiring a minimum 50 percent time commitment. The funds may be used for salary support, scholarship related travel costs, toward the support of the scholar's study or in a way that will contribute to the scholar’s development and advancement as an academic faculty member. The ARRS scholarship may be used for study outside the parent institution.
The scholarship funds will be paid to the scholar's radiology department for funding to the recipient. In this way, the ARRS shares the responsibility with the medical institution for development of these individuals.
