Current Partnerships/Projects:

Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute through the American College of Radiology (ACR) Foundation: The ARS Foundation has donated to the ACR Foundation to support the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute since 2015. Our goal in strongly supporting this institute has been to create a national “think tank” for radiology health policy research. We have been recognized by the ACR for our leadership work on this issue. After our first year of funding, we created a challenge match to strengthen the institute’s fundraising that has continued through the present. This challenge has received a much greater fundraising response than expected. Our challenge grant has been matched first by the ACR Foundation and then matched again by individual and group donors. Equally important, our leadership work on this topic has helped catalyze a shift in the ACR Foundation’s strategic direction toward supporting health policy research. We now have a position on their advisory board. One of our physicians, Dr. Andy Moriarity is serving on the Health Policy Institute Advisory Board.

In 2024, the Neiman HPI published 28 peer reviewed studies and continued to advance the resources available to policymakers and other stakeholders to inform the future. In 2024 HPI released interactive maps that visually correlate community social and environmental factors with cancer outcome measures and also developed and validated a new risk adjustment tool for predicting advanced imaging use, which is now publicly available on its website.

Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) – Research & Education Foundation: The ARS Foundation has donated to the RSNA R&E Foundation through the Visionaries in Practice (VIP) Giving Program since 2013. As a critical source of support, The RSNA Research & Education Foundation has awarded over 1,800 grants. According to their survey every $1 the R&E Foundation gives, investigators have received a minimum of $60 in additional funding from other sources. In 2024 alone, the R&E Foundation Board of Trustees approved 80 grants across 46 institutions and disbursed a record-breaking $5.26 million. This is all possible thanks to ARS support!
