The American Society of Emergency Radiology (ASER) offers this annual award to support investigator-initiated research and program evaluation of broad importance to its members. Named in honor of emergency and trauma imaging pioneer Dr. Kathirkamanathan Shanmuganathan, the program helps researchers advance single-institution projects into multicenter collaborations, increasing the impact of emergency radiology research and educational innovation.
Supported work may evaluate curricula and educational activities, compare imaging protocols across centers, or use surveys and data collection to establish best practices and benchmarks. Programmatic evaluation of educational initiatives is also within scope. The program encourages interdisciplinary work among emergency radiologists, emergency medicine physicians, and trauma surgeons, with the goal of enabling larger research and educational innovations.
