SPVS launches new grant programme
"We're excited to announce this source of funding for individuals and not-for-profits to support and further veterinary education, practice, and our professions" - Catriona Curtis, SPVS.
A new biannual grant programme to support educational initiatives across the veterinary profession has been announced by the SPVS Educational Trust.
The grants are available for post-graduates, students and not-for-profit organisations aiming to further clinical and non-clinical educational projects.
Each round of grants will include one award of up to £10,000 and smaller awards of up to £2,000 - with the winners of the first round to be announced at the SPVS-VMG Congress in May.
SPVS past president Catriona Curtis told Improve Veterinary Practice: “We’re excited to announce this source of funding for individuals and not-for-profits to support and further veterinary education, practice, and our professions.
“The grants have a huge potential to positively impact the development of learning, tools and processes that ultimately help us to look after our patients, clients, and each other.”
Criteria for the grant include the advancement of research, further education scholarships, educational schemes and the advancement of learning and knowledge.
Both clinical and non-clinical topics will be considered for the grants, as well as those engaged in general veterinary practice or ancillary services.
Applications for the first round of grants are welcomed now until 2 May 2022, with further information available on the SPVS website.
