The aim of the ISRRT Research Fund is to promote research that helps improve the standards of delivery and practice of medical imaging and radiotherapy as well as to encourage evidence-based practice.
The ISRRT Research Fund was set up in 2009 and a research proposal was funded the first time in 2010.
To commemorate the Chesney sisters who kindly left a legacy to the ISRRT, in 2016 the research award was named the ISRRT-Chesney Research Fund.
