The American Veterinary Medical Foundation has announced a request for proposals focused on the management of pain originating from osteoarthritis or other diseases prevalent in older dogs. Funding is made possible through a bequest from the estate of Susan I. Maylahn.
**Applications are no longer being accepted for this grant. Check back in September 2019 for more information.**
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.
Two types of grants will be awarded if there is adequate quality of submissions:
• Veterinary Pharmacology proposals for up to $30,000
• Dr. Brian Riviere Memorial Veterinary Pharmacokinetic proposals for up to $15,000
**2018 applications are no longer being accepted at this time. Check back in July 2019 for more information.**
