Board of Directors

SIR Foundation is governed by a board of directors charged with advancing the foundation's mission and goals through the acquisition and judicious deployment of funds. The SIR Foundation Board of Directors oversees activities that consist of:

• Developing research strategy in interventional radiology
• Reviewing grant applications to the foundation's grant programs
• Developing new research programs that foster the development of, or validate, innovative interventional radiology therapies
• Increasing the number of interventional radiologists participating in basic and clinical research
• Developing educational programming focused on strategic areas that need research
• Fostering the development of interventional radiology researchers
• Fundraising
• Finance, including investment, budget, reporting and auditing
• Communications to internal (interventional radiology) and external (other disciplines, industry) constituencies.

SIR Foundation's Board of Directors works closely with SIR's Board of Directors to oversee and direct the execution of the jointly crafted SIR and SIR Foundation Strategic Plan, which serves to further the mission of both organizations.
