AMSIG is dedicated to advancing musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging through research, education and international collaboration. Our grants provide AMSIG members with opportunities to undertake innovative research, pursue professional development and represent AMSIG within the global MSK radiology community.
AMSIG offers four grant opportunities supporting research, international fellowships, educational outreach and invited speaker representation. Explore the grants below to find the funding opportunity that best aligns with your research, education or professional development goals.
Available Grants
AMSIG offers research grants of up to AU$10,000 to support MSK imaging research projects. These grants are intended to provide funding and research experience to AMSIG members. Applicants may use the grant to support initial pilot projects before seeking larger grants from other funding bodies.
To apply for a grant, applicants must complete a detailed application form for review by the AMSIG Radiology Research Committee. The committee will evaluate applications based on merit, and funding decisions, up to the $10,000 limit per project, will be made at their discretion.
Recipients of AMSIG research grants are expected to present their findings at an AMSIG meeting and submit their work for publication. This initiative aims to foster research in MSK imaging and contribute valuable insights to the field.
Active AMSIG members only must submit the primary grant application, oversee the project from start to completion and present the findings at the AMSIG Annual Meeting.
AMSIG members can apply annually for the AMSIG Travelling Scholar Grant. This grant offers AU$5,000 – $10,000 per applicant to support travel to an international conference where recipients will present an MSK imaging research project.
Applicants must complete a detailed application form for evaluation by the AMSIG Radiology Research Committee. The committee will assess applications based on merit, and funding decisions, up to the AU$10,000 limit per project, will be determined at their discretion.
Recipients of the AMSIG Travelling Scholar Grant are expected to present their research outcomes in person at an AMSIG Annual meeting and submit their work for publication. This initiative aims to foster MSK imaging research and contribute significant insights to the field.
AMSIG Educational Travel Grants support members who have been invited to represent AMSIG through international educational activities and professional collaboration. These grants help advance musculoskeletal (MSK) radiology education, strengthen international partnerships and promote knowledge sharing across the global MSK imaging community.
Grants of up to AU$5,000 may be awarded to support MSK radiologists travelling to participate in the Radiology Across Borders (RAB) MSK Lecture Series, held annually in a developing country.
These grants support outreach initiatives that improve access to MSK radiology education while enabling AMSIG members to contribute to international teaching and capacity building.
Grants of up to AU$5,000 may be awarded to support MSK radiologists representing AMSIG as invited speakers at recognised international intersociety meetings, including the Indian Musculoskeletal Society, Asian Musculoskeletal Society and International Skeletal Society.
These grants strengthen international collaboration, promote knowledge exchange and enhance AMSIG’s presence within the global MSK radiology community.
Recipient Responsibilities
Successful recipients are expected to submit a brief synopsis of their trip for publication on the AMSIG website and circulation to the membership via email.
The number of Educational Travel Grants awarded each year will be determined by the requirement for AMSIG speakers, the number of applications received and available funding, and will be at the discretion of the AMSIG Grants Committee and Executive.
