Annual Feline Health Grants: Fellowship Training Award

The Annual Feline Health Grants: Fellowship Training Award, funded by the Morris Animal Foundation, aims to support emerging researchers in improving the health of domestic cats (Felis catus) through quality mentoring and salary assistance. This initiative promotes impactful research that benefits veterinarians and feline caretakers. By focusing on humane and scientifically valid projects, the foundation seeks to advance the overall welfare of community and pet cats, ensuring a lasting positive impact on feline health.

To achieve this aim, we fund hypothesis-driven, humane research projects with high scientific merit and the potential for significant impact. We are a nonprofit organization that is funded by public support from individuals, corporations, clubs and foundations, and earnings from our endowed funds. Our donors are interested in funding research that results in impactful animal health achievements and benefits both scientific and non-scientific stakeholders including veterinarians, feline caretakers and communities.
Fellowship Training Grants are designed to assist new investigators in launching a successful research career by providing salary support in a quality mentoring environment. Proposals should advance the health and overall welfare of domesticated cats including community and pet cats (Felis catus). Projects involving other feline species are not included in this call.
