Fellowship Grant for Alternatives to Animal Research in Human Health

The American Fund for Alternatives to Animal Research (AFAAR) seeks out researchers into alternative non-animal methods in experimental protocols and testing as well as organizations committed to replacing the harmful use of animals in all areas of science, medicine, medical and veterinary training and secondary school biologies. AFAAR does not accept unsolicited applications. Rather, they seek out programs consistent with their mission and, once vetted, vote on providing grants. Awards are not limited to the U.S. – international projects and programs are equally considered. The organization also provides funding for the long term care of animals rescued from such use when a prioritized arm of the sanctuary's mission is to permanently end the particular use the animals have been rescued from and to work through educational outreach to end such use worldwide and create a culture of compassion. All funding is currently considered by invitation only.
