RSNA has received a $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) to improve patient care in low- to middle-resourced countries.
Over five years, the grant will support RSNA’s program, “Global Health Initiative: Access to Radiology,” which includes efforts to promote peaceful uses of nuclear energy, RSNA said in a news release. The program will establish a new RSNA Global Learning Center (GLC) and support cancer diagnosis and treatment in Sub-Saharan Africa, as well as support the society’s Across Africa and Asia conference series.
This is the second NNSA grant awarded to RSNA. A previous grant of $1 million over three years funded the successful deployment of the RSNA Global Learning Center (GLC) at the Muhimbili National Hospital in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. It also helped support RSNA’s “Building Connections Across the Americas: Addressing Access to Radiology” program.
