NOW OPEN: 2025 Veterinary Research Grant Applications

We're pleased to partner again with the American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) to provide two types of grant applications for veterinary researchers, one in Veterinary Pharmacology for up to $30,000 and one in Veterinary Pharmacokinetics for up to $15,000.

These grants are meant to support research into new or currently approved medications for combating diseases and conditions of companion and food animals, as well as projects that ensure the safety of food products from treated livestock - areas which have historically been underfunded by traditional granting agencies.

Eligibility Requirements:

Any clinician or scientist with an interest in veterinary pharmacology is eligible to serve as Principal Investigator. Collaboration with pharmacology researchers who are members or student members of the American Academy of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics as well as members or student members of the American Veterinary Medical Association is strongly encouraged.

About the Grants:

Veterinary Pharmacology Grant:

Submitted proposals should address one or more of the following aspects of veterinary medicine:

• Studies focused on evaluating the safety and effectiveness of novel or existing drug therapies for veterinary species

• Developing and validating models of animal diseases or conditions to evaluate drug effectiveness

• Ensuring that a safe food supply is not compromised by drug treatment

• Pharmacokinetic/Pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) studies to understand the relationship between drug exposure and drug effect or safety

• Studies to evaluate mitigation of antimicrobial resistance in veterinary species

  
  

Veterinary Pharmacokinetic Grant:

• Studies focused on descriptive pharmacokinetic (PK) studies in veterinary species that will help define dosing regimens or enable future drug effectiveness evaluations or clinical trials

  
  

Applicants may request up to the total amount for a period not to exceed two years. All grant recipients will be required to submit a final summary report within three months after the last funded date of the project.

The deadline to apply is September 15th, 2025. For more information and to submit your application, visit https://research.avmf.org/!
