The VPRF/AVMF Pharmacology Research Grants fund research in veterinary pharmacology and pharmacokinetics to improve drug therapies and disease treatment in animals, supported by the American Veterinary Medical Foundation.
Funder: American Veterinary Medical Foundation
Due Dates: September 15, 2026
Funding Amounts: Up to $30,000 per grant; project duration up to 2 years
Summary: Supports research in veterinary pharmacology and pharmacokinetics to advance animal disease treatment and veterinary medicine.
Key Information: Two categories: pharmacology and pharmacokinetics; studies using laboratory rodents as models are generally not funded.
The VPRF/AVMF Pharmacology Research Grants, offered by the American Veterinary Medical Foundation (AVMF) in partnership with the Veterinary Pharmacology Research Foundation (VPRF), fund innovative research projects in veterinary pharmacology and pharmacokinetics. The program aims to improve prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of significant diseases in animals by supporting studies that evaluate new and existing drugs in veterinary species. Projects may focus on the safety and effectiveness of drug therapies, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies, models for evaluating drug efficacy, antimicrobial resistance, and ensuring food safety related to drug treatments.
