The Alabama Academy of Radiology Robert Stanley MD Annual Award for Outstanding Resident or Fellow Research

The concept for this award was inspired by the Radiologists in Training Committee and approved unanimously by the AAR Executive Committee in 2005. This will be an annual award with the inaugural award slated in 2006 and to be presented at the Annual AAR Meeting in the spring of 2007. The winner of the award will be recognized by the AAR at its Annual meeting, and provided with a certificate of Merit and a monetary prize. The award is named in honor of Robert Stanley, MD in recognition of his lifetime commitment to radiology education and research.
