Description
The Michael H. Picard Research Award recognizes original research in cardiovascular ultrasound submitted to the American Society of Echocardiography’s annual Scientific Sessions. Administered by the ASE Foundation and supported by a grant from Elsevier, the award was established in 2023 to honor Dr. Picard’s five years of service as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the American Society of Echocardiography (JASE).
The annual award goes to the overall highest-scoring abstract submitted by a trainee. It sits within the Scientific Sessions’ broader emphasis on presenting original research from around the world that illustrates new developments in cardiovascular ultrasound. The award provides a distinct recognition of scientific merit within that meeting.
