Apply Now: Funding Available to Develop or Implement Refinements

Through October 13, AWI is accepting applications for its Refinement Research Award and its Implementing Refinement Grant. Refinements, in this context, are improvements to the housing, husbandry, and care of animals used in experimentation to minimize pain, suffering, and distress. The Refinement Research Award offers up to $15,000 for research projects designed to study, develop, or validate innovative refinement methods. The Implementing Refinement Grant offers up to $8,000 to introduce existing refinements at a facility (i.e., equipment purchases or staff training) to improve the lives of animals housed there. Visit our pages on research and implementing refinement awards to learn more and apply.
