  2. Alavi-Mandell Publication Awards, 16 @ $150 • These publication awards serve to recognize students whose articles are published in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine (JNM) as a first author

  3. Molecular Imaging Research Grant for Junior Medical Faculty $50,000 for 2 years • To provide two-year salary support for one junior faculty member in an academic &/ or research setting to enable them to engage in Molecular Imaging research related to diagnostic or therapeutic applications.

  4. SNM Postdoctoral Molecular Imaging Scholar Program $30,000 for 2 years • This postdoctoral program is to support a two-year research endeavor of a trainee holding their MD, MD/PhD, or PhD that promotes integration of molecular imaging into their career.

  5. Covidien Seed Grant for Molecular Imaging/Nuclear Medicine Research, $25,000 • to assist researchers in conducting new and innovative pilot projects in nuclear medicine/molecular imaging that have potential for future support from foundations, corporations or government agencies.

  6. Cassen Prize Award • This prestigious prize is named in honor of the late physicist Benedict Cassen, whose invention, the rectilinear scanner, first brought the ability to image patients to nuclear medicine. His widow, Mary Wylie Cassen, made a bequest to the Foundation to establish a major award. • The awarding of this prize is in recognition of outstanding achievement is essential to encourage development and growth in nuclear medicine. • The Cassen Prize has been called the Nobel Prize of nuclear medicine and currently carries an award of $25,000.

  7. The Cassen Post-Doctoral Fellowship Award • In addition to the Cassen Prize, the Cassen Estate also established a Postdoctoral Fellowship. • This special award provides an opportunity for recent doctoral degree recipients, who have demonstrated exceptional ability, to broaden their experience by participating in research activities at an institution other than their degree-granting institution. • Postdoctoral Fellowships currently carry an award of $25,000.

  8. Mark Tetalman Award $5,000 offered every other year • This award honors the research accomplishments of a young investigator (less than 36 years of age) who is pursuing a career in nuclear medicine. • Dr. Tetalman was a highly respected and productive clinician, researcher, and member of the Society of Nuclear Medicine before his tragic death as a young man.

  9. SNM/Blahd Pilot Research Grant 2 @ $25,000 • The pilot research grants are designed to help basic or clinical scientists in the early stages of their careers conduct research that may lead to further funding. • The Mitzi and William Blahd, MD Pilot Research Grant is awarded to the applicant with the highest-ranked proposal.

  10. SNM Student Fellowship Awards 7 @ $3,000 • The SNM Student Fellowships are designed to stimulate students’ interest in molecular imaging/nuclear medicine by supporting their full-time participation in clinical and basic research activities for three months (or less). • The top-ranked candidate is designated the Bradley-Alavi Fellow, named by the donors—Drs. Jane and Abass Alavi—in honor of Dr. Stanley E. Bradley, a professor of Medicine at Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons until 1978 and a prominent researcher in the fields of renal physiology and liver disease

  11. Council Young Investigator Abstract Awards 13 offered at various amounts • The Young Investigators Awards recognize the best abstracts submitted to categories within the Cardiovascular, Neurosciences, Computer & Instrumentation, Nuclear Oncology, and Radiopharmaceutical Chemistry Tracks presented during the Council’s Young Investigator Sessions at the Annual Meeting.

  12. SNM, SNMTS, and SNMTS Student Travel Awards • To help support registration, travel, and accommodations towards the attendance of students and postdoctoral or clinical trainees (30 @ $1,000), Nuclear Medicine technologists (20 @ $1,500), and nuclear medicine technology students (10 @ $1,500) who will be presenting abstracts at the SNM Annual Meeting.
