On Capitol Hill, Top U.S. Academic Radiology Departments Convene to
Showcase Cutting-Edge Academic Imaging Research
On May 18, 2011, the Academy of Radiology Research’s Academic Council sponsored its second annual
congressional reception focusing on the latest advancements in imaging research. Chairs and representatives
from leading academic radiology departments presented posters which displayed a snapshot of theirinstitution’s ongoing imaging research projects. Members of Congress, staff and patient advocates were able
to meet some of their State’s top academic researchers, and staff and Members were encouraged to talk with
poster-presenters about their research and actually participate in the process by which science is vetted and
disseminated.
The popular event filled the Gold Room of the Rayburn House Office Building, with an attendance of 185
Congressional staff, patient advocates, NIH staff and industry representatives. Overall attendance was up 55%
from 2010.

More than 20 Academic Radiology Departments, including twelve
Department Chairs, provided detailed research posters depicting cutting-
edge imaging research at their institution. Guests enjoyed wine, hors
d’oeuvres and an ice cream bar as they networked and read the research
posters. For many Members and staff, it was their first opportunity to
meet Chairs from their home State or District’s institutions. Academic
research Chairs and patient advocates were easily identified by their large
lanyard name tags that clearly stated their name, state and University
affiliation or name and patient advocacy group.
Guest speakers included Martha Nolan, Vice President for the Society for
Women’s Health Research, James Jorkasky, Executive Director for the National
Alliance for Eye and Vision Research and Sheila Ross from the Lung Cancer
Alliance, also a lung cancer survivor. We were honored to hear from these three
CIBR Steering Committee members as they articulated to a full room why imaging research was important to
their patient constituency.
This reception was a lead-in to the CIBR medical technology reception and showcase on May 19th
. Over the
course of three days, Academy, Academic Council and CIBR leadership met with NIH leadership at seven
Institutes, Academic Chairs met with their elected Representatives and the CIBR Steering Committee held a
spring meeting to discuss and plan further advocacy initiatives.
Academic Council members who participated in the Congressional Reception by providing a research poster
and/or attending the events in DC are listed below. For more information about the Academy or CIBR please
