2024 New Entrant Stipend Program

The ISMRM invites applications for stipends that encourage new entrants to research in areas of interest to the ISMRM. Each awardee will receive US$400 toward the costs of attending (in-person only; does not apply to virtual attendance) the 2024 ISMRM & ISMRT Annual Meeting & Exhibition.

2024 ISMRM membership is required by 08 November 2023 at 23:59 UTC (see your local time above). If you are not a member, you will need to complete the membership application process on or before that deadline in order to be considered for an educational stipend. Current members will need to pay their 2024 membership dues by the same deadline.

Who Should Apply?
