ASA Grants

ASA Grants



The ASA's Grants Program was introduced in 2017 as a commitment to fostering and advancing the sonography profession. Since then, the program has grown to include grants for both research and clinical audit projects, and a funding pool of $40,000. These grants aim to support and facilitate new research that contributes to sonography practice and best practice in clinical ultrasound.
