2025 VPRF/AVMF Veterinary Pharmacology Fellowship
Congratulations to the recipient of the 2025 VPRF/AVMF Veterinary Pharmacology Fellowship!
The VPRF/AVMF Veterinary Pharmacology Fellowship is designed to enhance both the number and caliber of trained veterinary pharmacology researchers. One graduate student (MS or PhD) pursuing a career in this field will be selected to receive up to $10,000. Funded by the Veterinary Pharmacology Research Foundation (VPRF) and administered by the American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF), this one-year fellowship may be used to support training, stipends, professional travel, or other scholarly activities.

“As a dual-degree DVM/PhD student, I am building the foundation to pursue a career where I can conduct impactful clinical pharmacology research while also guiding graduate students in their own projects. When I entered veterinary school, I did not anticipate that research would become such a central and rewarding part of my career path. However, experiences like receiving this fellowship have continually shown me how exciting and meaningful veterinary pharmacology research is, further solidifying my commitment to the field.
The AVMF/VPRF fellowship will strengthen my PhD training by giving me the resources and support I need to grow as a researcher. I will now be able to acquire essential pharmacokinetic analysis software and attend an international conference where I can share my findings, learn from experts, and connect with the broader scientific community.
Thank you to the VPRF, AVMF, and AAVPT for their invaluable support of my research and career development. I am also grateful to Dr. Knych and the Maddy Lab team for creating an environment in which I can learn about and pursue equine clinical pharmacology research that directly benefits veterinary patients.”
