N1 - Funding Information: As you can see in the pictures on this and the following pages, for 231 attendees, a highlight of the 2010 Scientific Sessions was the ASE Foundation Awards Gala, a festive, sold-out celebration honoring the winners of the 2010 association awards. The event raised nearly $20,000 in support of a research grant for cardiovascular ultrasound. A silent auction brought excitement to the President's Reception in San Diego and added another $9,000 to the support of this Foundation research grant. ASE members and friends, including Drs. Rakowski, Picard, Oh, Kronzon, Kaul, Ryan, Lang, Geiser, Madrazo, Hitchcock, Mor-Avi, Rose, Kendrick, and Lai; Peg Knoll; and generous vendors donated textbooks, professional items, and artwork to the auction. Funding Information: These new events are just one way to raise the visibility, and secure funding for, the ASE Foundation. Since 2000, ASE has distributed more than 3 million dollars in research grant funding to 84 deserving recipients in four categories. Forty Career Development Awards supported physicians and scientists just beginning their careers in academic echocardiography. ASE's Cardiovascular Sonographer Research Awards have helped 12 sonographers carve out time for their research. Ten Echo Investigator Awards supporting meritorious and innovative research by experienced physicians and scientists have been given since the establishment of this award in 2006. Improvements in the effectiveness, efficiency, and humanity of health care through echocardiography were also supported by 22 ASE Outcomes Research Awards. In addition to research awards, the Foundation has supported travel grants and tuition assistance for sonographer students. After a competitive application process, the attendance of seven sonographers at this year's Scientific Sessions was supported by grants provided by the ASEF. Funding Information: The association has felt that supporting research is an essential part of its mission and has allocated part of its operational budget for this purpose. Additional research funding was made possible through the support of the ASE Industry Round Table. Recently, however, a variety of organizational needs, the adverse economic environment, and government restrictions on industry contributions to organizations for both research grants and educational offerings have resulted in a reduction in the number of grants that could be awarded by the Society. We fear that in the coming years, support from industry for these purposes may be curtailed even further, and ASE will have to find other ways to make up their traditional contributions to support our research and educational activities.
