Leading IR research to advance healthcare
SIR and SIR Foundation strongly encourage research that advances patient care.
Improving patient care and quality of life.
SIR Foundation is the only organization fully dedicated to interventional radiology (IR) research—leading clinical trials and registries, supporting clinical and basic scientific research, mentoring researchers, orchestrating international multidisciplinary expert panels and research summits and identifying and addressing the highest priority research needs in IR.
Increasing knowledge through clinical trials.
Clinical trials involve the investigation of a drug, device, or procedure on a specific population to evaluate the effects on health outcomes. SIR Foundation supports a variety of studies to advance the specialty of IR.
Clinical registries. Collecting data, improving quality.
Clinical registries collect data on a specific population defined by a particular disease, condition or procedure. The foundation encourages these endeavors as they support evidence-based research that can ultimately help improve quality and patient safety.
Fostering the next generation of researchers.
SIR Foundation has passionately encouraged and supported innovation for almost 30 years. The foundation’s programs support research training, new explorations and academic development.

The Journal of Vascular and Interventional Radiology is the authoritative reference for interventional radiologists, radiologists, cardiologists, vascular surgeons, neurosurgeons and other clinicians who need current and reliable information on every aspect of vascular and interventional radiology.
