Description
The Tatum Global Health Travel Grant is an annual travel award administered by the ASE Foundation, the philanthropic arm of the American Society of Echocardiography. It supports cardiologists and sonographers working in pediatric and congenital heart disease who are participating in a Foundation outreach event for the first time. The award focuses on outreach-related travel rather than a separate research project.
The grant was established in memory of Gregory H. Tatum, MD, FASE, an ASE member who died of cancer in 2022, to encourage others to follow his commitment to global health. The Foundation’s broader outreach initiative brings adult and pediatric cardiac care to underserved communities through direct patient services, teaching local clinicians, and sharing educational resources.
