author = "Charles, {Eric J.} and Kron, {Irving L.}",
note = "Funding Information: Although an argument can be made for doing research for the sake of science, ever-increasing demands for funding (with a relatively static, if not diminishing supply) make it imperative that research initiatives include a clear explanation of how patients will eventually benefit. Surgeons are perfectly situated to accomplish this, given our strong foundations in pathophysiology and our understanding of clinical challenges. Although communicating the clinical application of basic science research is often difficult, it is necessary to successfully obtain funding from the National Institutes of Health. Funding Information: Eric J. Charles is a Cardiothoracic Surgical Trials Network (CTSN) fellow and is supported by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (project number UM1HL088925).",
