State Radiological Societies Encouraged to Apply for an ACRA SOP Grant

State legislatures see hundreds of scope of practice (SOP) bills introduced each year during their legislative session. Now is a great opportunity for state radiological chapters to review what their states did in 2023 and to look ahead at what may occur in 2024. The American College of Radiology Association® (ACRA®) State Scope of Practice Fund can assist chapters with their advocacy efforts when battling harmful non-physician SOP expansion.

State radiological chapters are encouraged to review the criteria and apply for a SOP grant as soon as possible in order to prepare for their 2024 state legislative sessions.

The Texas Radiological Society (TRS) used their ACRA SOP grant to engage with a digital media advertising firm and conduct a targeted digital media campaign focused on raising the awareness of radiology and the importance of being properly trained and equipped to care for patients.

For more information about the ACRA SOP grant, contact Eugenia Brandt, American College of Radiology® (ACR®) Senior Government Affairs Director, or Dillon Harp, ACR Senior State Government Relations Specialist.
