AAZV Zoological Medicine & Wildlife Health Research Grant |
Application and Review Process In 2012, The American Association of Zoo Veterinarians (AAZV) established the Zoological Medicine and Wildlife Health Research Grant program which is funded by The Wild Animal Health Fund. The intent of the research grants is to improve the care and conservation of captive and free-ranging wildlife. Grants are awarded in amounts that do not exceed $15,000 and will be granted on annual basis. Submitting ProposalsThe application and proposal guidelines can be found by clicking GUIDELINES. Read the following about the process and criteria but go to the guidelines for details for the application. Proposal Review Process
Chair
will review each grant proposal received for adherence to the grant submission
guidelines; those submissions which do not meet this baseline criteria will not
be reviewed by the committee. Applicant
will be provided feedback on where non-compliance occurred. Chair also will review each grant proposal
for content and relevance; in situations where these categories are considered
sub-optimal and not warranting full committee review, Co-Chair also will review
the grant proposal. In case of
disagreement in these categories between Chair and Co-Chair, the grant proposal
will be submitted to the full committee. Each grant is critically evaluated and scored by a minimum of two committee members as a primary and secondary reviewer whom present their recommendations to the entire committee. However, all committee members are provided all grants and are instructed to read each of them. A summary of recommended grants
to be funded will be provided to the AAZV Executive Committee by the time of their mid-year
meeting in March or April. Applicants will be
notified of funding decisions by April 30th of year of funding. All applicants will be provided feedback from their submitted proposals which will be a simple summary provided from the comments of the primary and second reviewers.
