The Society of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography (SCCT) in collaboration with President-Elect Kavitha Chinnaiyan, MD, has created the SCCT Chinnaiyan Catalyst Award for Women’s Cardiovascular Health Research.
The award will support efforts to address disparities in the study of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women. The society is accepting applications through April 30 for research projects that highlight and improve gaps in the understanding of cardiac and vascular physiology in women, using coronary CT angiography (CCTA) imaging.
The prize will support new studies or early stages of ongoing studies, with a goal to provide recognition, visibility, and seed funding for research projects.
The winner will be announced at the SCCT 2025 meeting, to be held July 17 to 20 in Montréal, Canada. The recipient will receive complimentary registration, travel reimbursement, three nights of accommodation, and a plaque, and will be recognized with a recorded webcast. Those who are interested can apply on the SCCT website.
