July 10, 2025 - The AAEP Foundation reminds equine researchers that the deadline for submitting an application for the Research Fellow is July 30, 2007.
The Research Fellow was developed by the AAEP Foundation to emphasize the importance of equine research and to reward a researcher for his or her contributions. This scholarship is made possible by contributions from AAEP past presidents.
There is an increasing need to train future equine veterinary researchers. Supplementing post-graduate and residency research fellowship salaries and benefits is the goal of this grant. This scholarship targets AAEP members beginning careers in equine research. Ideal candidates are graduates of an AVMA-accredited school/college of veterinary medicine who have experience conducting equine research and are nearing completion of a residency or doctorate degree. Candidates also may have recently completed a residency or doctoral program. Applicants who are seeking funding for their research project or have secured funding from other organizations are also eligible to apply, as this scholarship focuses on supporting the researcher, not the project.
