State Radiological Societies Urged to Apply For ACRA Scope of Practice Grant

Applications are being accepted for the American College of Radiology Association® (ACRA®) Scope of Practice grant. These grants are open to all state radiological chapters to assist with advocacy efforts against harmful non-physician scope of practice expansion.

State radiological chapters should review the criteria and apply for a grant by Oct. 4 to best prepare for 2025 state legislative sessions.

The ACR has updated its scope of practice micro-website, which features a wide variety of resources for state chapters, including:
• State scope of practice legislation tracked by the American College of Radiology® (ACR®).
• Educational requirements of a radiologist and the value of physician-led care.
• ACR communications and sign-on letters.

More information is available online or by contacting Eugenia Brandt, ACR Senior Government Affairs Director, or Dillon Harp, ACR Senior State Government Relations Specialist.
