Funding, News and Announcements

Posting from The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

The ASPCA has opened submissions for our 2024 Research Grants, offering approximately $440,000 (through multiple grants) to support research benefiting animals directly or systemically. We're particularly interested in research focusing on any of the following topics: access to veterinary care, applied behavior, cruelty research, farm animal welfare, and/or psychological trauma.

We're seeking high-quality proposals from public or private entities, including universities, colleges, and government organizations. Submissions are open until June 30. If you're planning any animal welfare research projects this year, this could be a great fit. Learn more about submission categories and criteria here.

Additionally, mark your calendars for our annual Research Forum on October 30, hosted by the ASPCA in partnership with the Association for Animal Welfare Advancement (AAWA). We're inviting professionals and researchers to share cutting-edge insights that can improve animals' lives. Submit proposals to speak at Research Forum by June 30. Discover more about the research we're looking to highlight here.

Finally, we are accepting applications on a continuing basis to our Open Access Publishing Fund to support research dissemination. If you are publishing innovative and impactful animal welfare research, we welcome your applications! Learn more about the Open Access Publishing Fund here.
