The AIUM and the Endowment for Education and Research has awarded $295,000 towards ultrasound education and research since its inception in 2001. These important ultrasound grants were made possible by members who so generously donated to the EER. You, too, can help further research in ultrasound in medicine by contributing to the EER. We're so close to reaching a new milestone in the EER - $1,000,000 in cumulative support - join us as we "Push for a Million"!
