American Association of Physicists in Medicine 2012 Research Seed Funding Initiative
Application Deadline: February 29, 2012
The AAPM is pleased to offer the Research Seed Funding Initiative which provides start-up funds for research-oriented medical physicists. Two $25,000, one-year awards will be made in 2012. The awards are intended to provide funds to develop exciting investigator-initiated concepts, which will hopefully lead to successful longer term project funding from the NIH or equivalent funding sources. It is expected that funding will begin on July1 of the year in which the award is made, and that subsequent research results will be submitted for presentation at future AAPM meetings.
The awards are not intended to provide salary support for the applicant, however any other research-related expenses, including travel to scientific meetings, will be supported. At the end of the 12-month period a report should be forwarded to the AAPM, along with itemized expenses. The award will not support indirect costs. Any unspent funds should be returned to the AAPM.

Any area of ultrasound research and education will be considered for funding but preference will be given to projects satisfying the following criteria:
Projects which are related to teaching ultrasound and/or establishing guidelines for minimal physician education.
Grants must result in the development of methods that can be utilized by individuals/institutions other than those that are being funded. The AIUM will not fund grants to teach a specific population in a single university/hospital.
Well-designed clinical ultrasound projects, which can be completed within a year, which investigate clinical outcomes, efficacy, role of new ultrasound applications, and in general, advance the science of ultrasound. Projects which study an area of basic ultrasound research.
Projects which study the economics of ultrasound practice.
Applicants for research grants must be members of the AIUM. All applicants must have a letter of recommendation from an AIUM Fellow or Senior (unless the applicant is a Fellow or Senior of the AIUM) who has agreed to serve as a mentor to the principal investigator for the project. Only one application per individual will be accepted. Members of the AIUM Board of Governors or members of the granting committee may not apply. Previous grant awardees are ineligible for future grants and previously funded projects are ineligible for another round of funding. No more than $1,000 in grant funding may be used for travel. Travel expenses must be consistent with the AIUM travel policy. Funding of IRB and/or capital equipment is not allowed. The AIUM defines capital equipment as equipment greater than $1000.
The Grants Review Subcommittee of the Education and Research Fund Committee will recommend project selection to the Executive Committee. It is expected that the AIUM will fund several awards of up to $10,000.
Funds should be disbursed to tax exempt organizations. If the grant recipient is not tax exempt per IRS Publication 78, the grant recipient will be issued a 1099 for tax reporting purposes. Exempt organizations must supply a copy of their IRS Determination Letter and all others must complete a Form W9 before funds can be disbursed.
The AIUM will distribute all funds to the principal investigator and/or their institution. Subdivision of funds (identified in the budget proposal) to other participants will be the responsibility of the host institution, in coordination with the principal investigator. Prior to the distribution of funds, the AIUM will require a signed agreement between the host institution and the AIUM. Institutional overhead (indirect) costs will not be funded. Funds will be disbursed on the following basis: 50% at award, 40% at 6-month progress report, and 10% at final report.
Scientific papers resulting from AIUM supported research must be submitted for consideration at the AIUM Annual Convention. The AIUM strongly encourages submission of a manuscript to the Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine. A progress report will be required at six months and a final report within three months of completion of the project. The AIUM should be kept informed of publications and presentations resulting from AIUM support, even after submission of the final progress report. Notation acknowledging AIUM support should be made in all publications and presentations. Follow these steps to apply for a grant:

Request for Applications for Point-of-Care Ultrasound Research
The Endowment for Education and Research (EER) of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) has issued a request for applications (RFA) to investigate the reliability of various methods to measure competence of individuals who use 1 or more point-of-care ultrasound applications. Up to $50,000 has been allocated for 1 or more grants in this area. Deadline for submission is March 1, 2012. Study to Assess Competency in Point-of-Care Applications of Ultrasound
The Endowment for Education and Research (EER) of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) is issuing a request for applications (RFA) for studies to assess the competency of individuals who use point-of-care ultrasound applications. Proposals should address 1 or more applications of point-of-care ultrasound (defined as ultrasound imaging, for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes, performed on the patient by a provider in real time as a component of a care episode). For examples of point-of-care applications, see the article "Point-of-Care Ultrasonography" by Moore CL and Copel JA (N Engl J Med 2011:364:749-57).
The purpose of this RFA is to investigate the reliability of various methods to measure competence in 1 or more point-of-care applications of ultrasound. As such, the method of measuring competence is critical, must be reliable, and must be adequately explained. The evaluation should take into account the background and training of the providers, and the specific setting in which the point-of-care ultrasound is provided. Assessment of competency should include independent blinded review of images, evaluating both the quality of the images obtained and diagnostic accuracy. If the point-of-care application is for therapeutic purposes, evaluation of the ability to perform the procedure should also be assessed. Studies should comply with the AIUM Practice Guideline for Documentation of an Ultrasound Examination, and with the AIUM official statement Interpretation of Ultrasound Examinations.
Additional information
The AIUM's Endowment for Education and Research has allocated up to $50,000 for 1 or more grants in this area. The deadline for submission of applications is March 1, 2012.
