Funding Available for NSW Registrars to attend the 2010 ASM

 

The NSW Branch Committee wishes to encourage presentation of papers and posters by NSW registrars (Radiology and Radiation Oncology) at the College’s Annual Scientific Meeting (ASM).

To this end, the Committee has agreed to provide a quantum of up to $1,000 per registrar to assist in covering the costs of attending the ASM for those registrars who are selected for funding, to a maximum of four (4) per calendar year.

Any registrar currently employed at a RANZCR accredited NSW training site, who has submitted a paper or poster to the ASM Organising Committee, and had it accepted for presentation, will be eligible for funding support.

Funding will be available only to the registrar who will be presenting the paper or primarily supporting the poster, i.e. there will be funding for only one registrar connected with any single paper or poster.

Those successful in being awarded the funding are asked to develop their abstract into an original manuscript for submission in the Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology.

Funding Guidelines outlining the eligibility, selection criteria and selection process are available for
