SPR Research & Education Foundation Grants Programs

About this program

SPR Research & Education Foundation offers multiple grant programs to support pediatric radiology research and education, including Seed Grants (up to $10,000), Education Project Awards (up to $50,000), Pilot Awards (up to $50,000), Multi‑institutional Pilot Awards (up to $100,000), and the William H. and Victoria McAlister Young Investigator Grant ($30,000). Funding supports hypothesis‑driven research, single‑ and multi‑institution pilot studies, and education projects—Education Awards preferentially fund enduring, freely disseminable web‑based or electronic teaching resources. Eligible applicants are investigators or teams conducting radiology- or pediatric radiology‑related projects; departments may submit only one application per grant category and applicants must create a Foundation user account (separate from SPR society credentials) to apply. Applications are accepted annually with a single deadline on March 8 (extended to the following Monday if March 8 falls on a weekend); contact Foundation leadership for atypical eligibility or questions (spr@acr.org, 703‑648‑0680).
