The goal of the program is to foster research that advances technical advanced and translational application of CMR. The intention is to award up to two grants for up to $10,000 each in 2023, with either a “basic” (technical) or “clinical” (translational) research focus. Consistent with this year’s SCMR meeting theme of “Changing Global Clinical Practice”, applicants are encouraged to clearly delineate how research proposals address key knowledge gaps and/or needs in patient-focused CMR. Examples of possible topics include (but are not limited to) proposals to develop and/or validate novel pulse sequences, or demonstrate incremental diagnostic and/or prognostic utility of innovative CMR approaches as applied to population-based clinical cohorts. Seed grant proposals may be either single center or multicenter in scope.
The SCMR encourages early career investigators to identify pilot projects for which Seed Grant funding will directly foster competitive research applications to larger scale governmental (e.g. US NIH, EU, British Heart Foundation) and/or other extramural grant programs. Successful investigators will be invited to present their progress at the subsequent SCMR Annual Scientific Sessions in 2024.
The SCMR Submission Site is a user-friendly submission portal with easy to view tasks and navigation to simplify your submission process.
