Whitaker Foundation
Research Grants program supports research projects that enable investigators to establish academic careers in biomedical engineering or closely related field
Small Animal Research
American Animal Hospital Association Foundation
Funds practitioner-oriented research projects aimed at improving lives of companion animals through veterinary medicine; projects should be of immediate value to practicing veterinarian; project results, when published, should provide information that practitioners will find of use in dealing with patients; to degree possible, projects should use case material rather than laboratory or research animals
American Association of Feline Practitioners Academy of Feline Medicine
Offer research awards to persons doing meaningful research in feline medicine and/or surgery; awards are given for research whose application shows most clinical merit; strong preference will be given to noneuthanasia studies and to funding complete research projects, rather than partial funding of projects; this does not preclude matching funds; preference will be given to funding clinical studies of patients, rather than research animals
American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine Foundation
Funds research in laboratory animal science and medicine
