VPRF/AVMF Pharmacology Research Grants

Animal health research is crucial to the future of veterinary medicine. The AVMF devotes its efforts to raising financial support for research projects that will help lead to improved prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of prevalent, life-threatening diseases in animals.

 

The American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) and the Veterinary Pharmacology Research Foundation (VPRF) have partnered to fund two research grant opportunities—one for veterinary pharmacology and one for veterinary pharmacokinetics. The funding supports research projects designed to evaluate new and existing drugs for treatment of diseases and conditions in veterinary species.  View a list of frequently asked questions.
