SIR Foundation receives major gift to support research grants and panel on adenomyosis

SIR Foundation is pleased to announce a major gift donation from widely recognized expert on uterine fibroids and uterine fibroid embolization, John Lipman, MD, FSIR.

This support will make 4 years of funding possible for the newly announced Dr. Scott C. Goodwin Uterine Artery Embolization Grant and 5 years of funding for the Dr. James B. Spies Global Summit on Uterine Fibroid and Adenomyosis Research.

The Dr. Scott C. Goodwin Uterine Artery Embolization Grant is focused on advancing uterine fibroid and/or uterine artery embolization research and will launch October 2023. Additionally, the Dr. James B. Spies Global Summit on Uterine Fibroid and Adenomyosis Research was hosted in June 2023.  The research panel will be focused on a sub-topic of uterine fibroid and adenomyosis research selected by the SIR Foundation Board of Directors.

Scott C. Goodwin, MD, FSIR, and James B. Spies, MD, FSIR, are highly regarded pioneers of uterine fibroid research, having led the SIR Foundation’s Fibroid Registry—the largest collection of data on uterine fibroids—and conducting foundational research into uterine artery embolization. Drs. Goodwin and Spies are long-term members of the SIR, having each served as SIR president as well as members of SIR Foundation’s leadership.

The SIR Foundation is deeply grateful to Dr. Lipman and his commitment to advance the future of interventional radiology for patients and physicians everywhere.
