The Association for Medical Imaging Management (AHRA) & Toshiba Putting Patients First Program is offering seven new grants for the 2013 year to fund programs, seminars, or training focused on improving pediatric or adult patient care and safety within the realm of diagnostic imaging.

Those awarded with funding will assist in the creation of a best-practices tool to share with hospitals and institutions nationwide. Applicants have the chance to win grants of anywhere from $7,500-$20,000, and, if selected, will also be awarded the opportunity to publish an article in an AHRA publication about their means of improving patient safety and care in diagnostic imaging.

Applications must be submitted by October 14, 2013. Winners will be announced in December 2013.
