The mission of Morris Animal Foundation is to bridge science and resources to advance the health of animals. Through funding hypothesis-driven, humane research projects with high scientific merit, they aim at significant impact. As a non-profit funded by public support and endowment earnings, they prioritize impactful animal health research that benefits a wide range of stakeholders including veterinarians, pet owners, and communities.
Morris Animal Foundation is accepting proposals for research focused on the health topics of domesticated equids. The grant aims to advance the health and welfare of domesticated horses, ponies, donkeys, and mules. Proposals are carefully reviewed and rated based on their impact and scientific rigor by the Foundation’s scientific advisory boards, consisting of veterinary community experts. Additionally, the grant includes "First Award" grants designed to assist new faculty in establishing a successful research program.
