The WALTHAM Foundation The Waltham Foundation is dedicated to pushing forward the frontiers of humane scientific research into the nutrition and healthy longevity of companion animals. Since it’s inception in 2001, the WALTHAM Foundation has received more than 500 proposals, funded projects in 20 countries, and provided over $500,000 towards research that directly improves the health and welfare of our companion animals worldwide. The vast number of internationally recognized presentations and peer-reviewed publications emanating from this work is a testament to the scientific caliber of the proposals we receive and to the quality of the investigations which we have supported. WALTHAM is proud to be in partnerships with the world’s leading researchers. In 2009, the WALTHAM Foundation is offering grants of up to US$15,000 to scientists, veterinarians and nutritionists globally to improve and enrich the lives of our companion animals. Projects may be of a veterinary, nutritional, or behavioural nature. All projects must comply with WALTHAM's ethical guiding principles: the research must not inflict suffering or result in the euthanasia of the animals involved. All clinical studies must have informed owner consent. We invite you to apply for a grant in 2009. Please be as specific as possible in the descriptions of the project and funds required.
APPLICATION DEADLINES - All applications are due by 1st February 2009. SELECTION PROCESS All applications are evaluated by a team of scientists to ensure that each project we support complies with our ethical principles, that the science is of a high standard, and that the research will increase our collective knowledge and benefit the care or well-being of companion animals. Please note that each year, we receive numerous high quality applications, so do not be discouraged should your application not be selected. All applications are kept under strict confidentiality.
