SPR's 2nd Campaign for Children

........with our new focus on supporting Educational projects!

Since the SPR Research and Education Foundation’s founding in 1990, 29 years ago, 155 SPR members from 66 different institutions have received support for a wide array of projects generating meeting presentations, published papers, and, most importantly, advances in the way we practice and care for children. The experience of winning an SPR Foundation grant has fueled several generations of promising young pediatric radiologists as they began careers in research.
We are now three years into the The SPR’s 2^ndCampaign for Children: Research and Education. The Foundation has always funded interesting research projects and we are happy to report that as promised, a portion of funds raised through The SPR’s 2^nd Campaign for Children has been earmarked for separate grant programs for educational grants. In fact, since 2016, four education grants have been funded.
The levels of giving are noted below, however, any donation would be appreciated. Note that we welcome multi-year pledges.
We hope you agree with us on the value of the SPR Foundation grants – to our members, to our patients, to the entire world of Pediatric Radiology– and embrace the campaign’s continuing support of research and the renewed focus on education.We hope that every member will want to support the Campaign for Children at some level.

Your ideas for the gestures that would mean the most to you may be addressed to the SPR Board of Directors or any member of the Foundation Board or Development Committee. Contact Angela Davis, The SPR' Foundation's Managing Director, for more information.
