The VECCS Gives Committee is pleased to announce its 2023 Inaugural Grant to fund research that investigates low-cost treatment options for the management of common emergent conditions in domestic animals.

Researchers are eligible for the grant if the Principal Investigator has a DVM, VMD, or is a certified nurse/technician and works in an emergency or urgent care veterinary hospital. Awardees who are not already VECCS members must join VECCS to receive funding. Membership fees will be covered for one year for applicants who are not currently members and express financial hardship. Research mentorship and statistical support are available upon request.

There will be a two-stage process for proposals. The committee invites submission of pre-proposals, following the guidelines below. Pre-proposals will be evaluated by the committee and invitations extended to investigators of the highest-ranked pre-proposals for full proposal submission. Pre-proposals should be submitted via VECCS awards platform at the button below.
