note = "Funding Information: We have started our 2013 Annual Appeal for the Foundation and are now raising the funding to support future career development and cardiovascular sonographer research awards which are supported annually by the ASEF, as well as our next big research project. Past funding is already making a difference in some highly relevant areas. Proceeds from the 2011 and 2012 appeals have allowed us to support four career development awards and a cardiovascular sonographer research award, as well as our first reproducibility methodology grant, providing Foundation funding to address the perception of variability related to the use of echocardiography in clinical research, and assist in establishing standards to demonstrate the accuracy of cardiovascular ultrasound for quantifying research data. The outcome of this study is expected to document the important role of echocardiography within our changing healthcare environment, and its utility for clinical trials where large numbers of subjects must be imaged efficiently, reproducibly, and cost-effectively.
