PLEASE NOTE:
Unfortunately, due to the lack of available funds, grant giving from the General Fund is currently suspended. However we will be pleased to consider funding proposals under the following restricted funds:
Norman Hayward Fund
This fund is intended to be used for research into the disease and welfare of sheep, cattle and horses. This is a fantastic opportunity for researchers, both academic and practice based, who can demonstrate that their proposal will have a practical impact on the welfare of these animals. Please note: Applicants seeking funding from the Norman Hayward Fund are required to submit a project overview form initially. Trustees may then invite applicants to submit a full application. The project overview form can be found in the updated research grant application form as Annexe 1.
GP West Fund
The Foundation has a small amount still available in this fund for feline research. These funds were received through a legacy from Geoffrey Philip West, author of Black's Veterinary Dictionary.
How to apply
Applications for funding to the Foundation are accepted on a rolling basis. Applications are normally assessed at the meetings of the BVA AWF trustees; 3 meetings are held each year with the next one due to take place in February 2009. Where applications for large sums of money are made applicants may be invited to meet with the BVA AWF trustees. Proposals must be submitted on BVA AWF funding proposal forms which can be downloaded below. You may also apply online.
For the next round of applications please make your submission by 5pm on Friday 5th November 2010. Please specify which fund you are applying under on your form.
Guidelines for Applicants
Funding is not normally available:
- for projects based outside the UK;
- for travel costs that are not part of a larger agreed project;
- to undergraduates;
- to cover ongoing costs or any day to day expenses not directly associated with the project;
- for capital projects, for example the construction of animal hospitals or shelters;
- for goods or services bought before the BVA AWF award is confirmed i.e. funding is not normally available retrospectively;
- for goods or services not mentioned in the initial application to the Foundation.
Successful applications will be required to sign a declaration accepting the following terms and conditions.
