2012 ARAV Research & Conservation Grant
Objectives of the Association of Reptile and Amphibian Veterinarians (ARAV) include:
- To advance programs for preventative medicine, husbandry, and scientific research in the field of veterinary medicine dealing with reptiles and amphibians.
- To promote the conservation and humane treatment of all reptilian and amphibian species through education, captive breeding and preservation of reptilian and amphibian habitats
The ARAV Conservation & Research Committee has up to $6000.00 available to fund clinically oriented and/or conservation research projects involving either reptiles and/or amphibians. The typical awards are in the range of $2000 to $3000.
Clinically oriented proposals and proposals submitted by ARAV members will be given priority. Proposals will be evaluated based on clinical significance, conservation relevance, feasibility of proposal, and research methodology.
Final determination of the number and amounts of awards to be distributed will be made by the ARAV Exexutive board, based on the report/findings of the Conservation and Research Committe.
It is expected that the research should be completed in 12-18 months.
Recipients of funding will be asked to either present their results at the ARAV annual conference or publish them in the Journal of Reptilian Medicine and Surgery.
Deadline for proposal submission is September 1, 2012.
Funding decisions will be made by January 15, 2013.
