title = "Establishing a New Radiology Residency Research Track",
abstract = "The authors describe the establishment of a radiology residency research track at their institution. Based on growing biomedical technology needs and the tremendous increase in imaging-based research, the importance of training and cultivating future clinical investigators continues to grow. Within the framework of a supportive environment, a residency research track exposes motivated radiologists-in-training to the tools, challenges, and successes of a career in academics. The authors describe their program's design, admissions process, curriculum, and expectations. Lastly, the authors share the insight of their experience and seek feedback from readers who have been involved in similar endeavors.",

note = "Funding Information: Residents in the research track are expected to reach performance goals. These expectations include publications, presentations, and applying for grant funding. Residents are highly encouraged to achieve at least one peer-reviewed publication. Over the course of their training, residents are scheduled to deliver internal presentations at our institution's “Research in Progress Seminar.” In addition, they are actively supported in their efforts to present at nationally and internationally recognized multidisciplinary conferences. All residents must apply for grant funding from either intramural or extramural sources, such as the RSNA Research Resident Grant. Familiarity and comfort with grant-writing functions as an important measure of an aspiring trainee's eventual academic success (15–17) . At the end of training and successful completion of the research track, we expect to have developed competent clinician-investigators replete with all the necessary skills to succeed. ",
