Making a Difference
The mission of The Roentgen Fund® is to promote and support educational, scientific and research initiatives that contribute to excellence in radiology. This will be accomplished through the awarding of grants, fellowships, stipends and other financial support to individuals, groups and organizations that have met specific criteria for each program.
Contributions made to the Roentgen Fund support scholars like Benjamin Yeh, MD, and Peter Eby, MD, both previous ARRS scholar recipients.
“I owe a debt of gratitude to the ARRS for the Scholar Award which gave me with the time and authority to develop a research program and subsequently to obtain substantive NIH grant funding to develop a novel CT contrast material. In return I hope to give back to the ARRS by helping to provide positive research experiences to other aspiring radiology clinician-scientists.”

“In my opinion, the ARRS scholarship is an investment in the future of radiology. While radiology has enjoyed rapid development and implementation in clinical practice in the recent past, it has happened only with the dedication of research scientists and physicians. Without these people, the next generation of advancement is uncertain. The clinical demands of academic departments make it very difficult for young faculty to find the time to develop their creative ideas for the future. Many departments simply cannot afford to have their most productive members take time away from clinical duties. The ARRS scholarship protects the time and resources that bright young physicians need to develop the technology and procedures of radiology's future. Ultimately, the investment, through support of new investigators, should produce new avenues for patient care that help individual departments grow their research programs and all of radiology to expand its role in patient care.”
