SIIM 2010 ( Society for Imaging Informatics in Medicine ) annual meeting will take place from June 3 - 6, 2010 at Minneapolis, Minnesota Minneapolis Convention Center.

The SIIM Research and Development Committee accepts applications for $50,000 grants to support original research in the field of imaging informatics as well as a smaller grant for $20,000 for support. The deadline for receipt of an electronic grant application package is the first Monday in August each year. Applicants are notified of the decision of the committee in January of the following year. The award period  is July 1 to June 30.

Any area of research involving medical imaging informatics is eligible for support as well as development of new hardware, software, or processes to support electronic imaging practice, education, or research. Preference is given to projects at SIIM institutions, projects that contribute to the careers of new or prospective researchers, and projects that have data and software sharing plans. Residents, fellows, and students must conduct their projects under the guidance of experienced investigators. Funding may not be requested from multiple SIIM grants for the same project.

At the conclusion of the project, the recipient is to submit a paper to be considered for presentation at the SIIM 10 Annual Meeting and publication in the Journal of Digital Imaging (JDI). JDI has the right for first refusal.

All grant recipients must submit an interim report six months after the start of the project and a final report within sixty days after completion of the project.
