Research Education

Research Education Division

The Research Education Division initiates and promotes educational activities for the purpose of developing knowledgeable and skilled investigators and new partnerships in emerging areas.

SIR Foundation Research Education Committee

The objective of the Research Education Committee is to provide researchers specializing in interventional radiology research with educational opportunities that will improve their understanding of research and thereby increase the number of skilled investigators.

Research Resources

The Research Education Committee has created a section that provides peer-reviewed links to websites that provide information of interest to those performing both basic and clinical research.

"Getting Started in IR Research" Workshop at the 2012 SIR Annual Scientific Meeting

SIR Foundation is sponsoring "Getting Started in IR Research," a research training workshop for interventional radiologists that will be held on Monday, March 26, 2012, at the SIR Annual Scientific Meeting. "Getting Started in IR Research" will be helpful for both IRs who are new to research and those who would like to refresh their research knowledge. The workshop will include an overview on getting started in research, including choosing a mentor, getting started in animal or translational studies and getting funding support for your research. At the end of this session, the learner should be able to: 1. Provide an overview of the most important components that one should consider when choosing a research mentor; 2. Provide an overview of the most important components that one should consider when designing an animal study; 3. Provide an overview of the most important components that one should consider when designing a registry; 3. Provide an overview of the NIH study section operations and the grant review process; and 4. Present the components of successful grantsmanship and discuss the experiences of those who have successfully competed for federal grant funding. .
