Boehringer Ingelheim is now accepting proposals for the 2024 Advancement in Equine Research Awards for Infectious Disease Research.
“Boehringer is committed to collaborating with the community of researchers, veterinarians, and diagnosticians who dedicate their time and energy to improving the lives of horses through research,” says Steve Grubbs, DVM, PhD, DACVIM, equine technical manager for Boehringer. “The Equine Research Awards program has been invaluable in advancing what we know about infectious disease.”
Public and private researchers in the United States, Canada, and Mexico are eligible to submit proposals for research programs that help advance the diagnosis, treatment, and understanding of equine infectious disease. Boehringer will present five separate $15,000 awards.
Proposals must be submitted by September 15, 2024, and will be reviewed by an independent board consisting of renowned equine industry professionals, including practicing veterinarians and researchers. The board will peer review and select proposals based on probability of successfully completing the project, potential for impact to the equine industry, originality, and scientific quality. The awards will be announced at the 70th annual American Association of Equine Practitioners Convention, December 7 – December 11, 2024.
Again this year, Boehringer will accept electronic copies of the proposals in lieu of hard copies. To participate in the 2024 awards program, submit an e-copy proposal, cover letter and Curriculum Vitae to Dr. Steve Grubbs at steve.grubbs@boehringer-ingelheim.com.
The Boehringer Advancement in Equine Research Awards program was launched in 2011 to support veterinary research that results in practical applications for insights into important equine infectious and non-infectious diseases. More than $800,000 has been awarded to date for emerging science in equine research.
