Young Investigator Awards
Our center coordinates the Young Investigator Grant Program. The donations are unrestricted, so any research project is potentially fundable. Each successful proposal includes a veterinary student as a co-investigator; it is expected this person will be the primary author or coauthor on any resultant publication.
 
We hope that the completion of these projects stimulates student interest in clinical projects and improves the students' chances of getting complementary internships and residencies in the future.

Call for Proposals

In 2022, we received 28 excellent proposals and were able to support 12. Thank you to the companies and other donors that so generously support this program!
