The American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) and the Veterinary Pharmacology Research Foundation (VPRF) have partnered to fund research grants with a focus on veterinary pharmacology. This funding supports research projects designed to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases in animals. Clinicians and scientists with an interest in veterinary pharmacology are eligible to serve as Principal Investigators. View list of frequently asked questions.
Two types of grants will be awarded if there is adequate quality of submissions:
• Veterinary Pharmacology proposals for up to $30,000
• Veterinary Pharmacokinetic proposals for up to $15,000
NEW! The Veterinary Pharmacology Research Foundation (VPRF), the American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) and the American College of Veterinary Clinical Pharmacology are partnering for the first time to offer current candidates who are enrolled in an approved Standard or Alternate ACVCP Training Program. Submitted proposals may address either Veterinary Pharmacokinetic or Pharmacology studies and comply with the existing criteria and other requirements for the VPRF grant program, as well as guidelines specific to the Resident Grants.
Proposals of up $20,000 will be considered for the American College of Veterinary Clinical Pharmacology Resident Grant.
The AVMF in partnership with the Veterinary Pharmacology Research Foundation, and the American College of Veterinary Clinical Pharmacology, has awarded three research grants in 2020.
