Residents and grad students: Apply for new AAEP Foundation research grant


AAEP-member residents and graduate students are eligible to apply for up to $20,000 in equine research funding through a new AAEP Foundation research grant program. The deadline to submit a proposal is June 15.


Pilot studies or preliminary studies that are part of a major study or that will lead to a major project are encouraged. Small standalone projects will also be considered. Research areas of particular interest, based on results of a recent AAEP survey, are musculoskeletal, gas- trointestinal and metabolic disease, as well as laminitis and new technologies such as stall side test development; however, all applications regardless of subject will be considered.


“We look forward to seeing the great work being done by the young equine research community and hope this is one of many steps that the AAEP Foundation can take to impact the well-being of horses,” said Dr. Anthony Blikslager, chair of the AAEP Foundation Advisory Council Research Subcommittee.


Approved grants will be awarded after Aug. 15. For more information about the AAEP Foundation Graduate Student/Resident Research Grant, including application and submission requirements, visit foundation.aaep.org/ apply-for-funding/grants.


Winner’s Circle scholarships awarded to 36 student members


Thirty-six aspiring equine practitioners received a combined $54,000 in financial support through the 2019 Winner’s Circle Scholarship Program, co-sponsored by the AAEP Foundation, Platinum Performance and The Race For Education.


The scholarships help ease the financial burden of a veterinary education by providing an opportunity for third- and fourth-year veterinary students to earn $1,500 awards. Students are selected based on their leadership roles and dedication to a future in equine healthcare.


Since its establishment in 2008, the Winner’s Circle Scholarship Program has provided more than $1.5 million in scholarships to 384 veterinary students.
