Research Grants

AMSIG is dedicated to advancing musculoskeletal (MSK) imaging through research and education. The grants offer AMSIG members the opportunity to gain valuable research experience and contribute to the field. AMSIG offer two funding opportunities: the AMSIG MSK Research Grant, which provides up to AU$10,000 to support imaging research projects, and the AMSIG MSK Travelling Scholar Grant, offering up to AU$10,000 for international fellowships or observerships. Both grants require applicants to present their findings at an AMSIG meeting and submit their work for publication.

AMSIG MSK Research Grant

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 MSK Travelling Scholar Grant

Starting May 5, 2024, AMSIG members can apply annually for the AMSIG Travelling Scholar Grant. This grant offers up to 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.
