Graduate Student Fellowships for Alternatives to the Use of Animals in Science

IFER is dedicated to the development and implementation of scientifically valid alternatives to the use of animals in research, product testing, and education. IFER is also committed to programs designed to increase public awareness of such alternatives. The purpose of these Graduate Fellowships in Alternatives in Scientific Research is to provide monetary assistance to graduate students whose programs of study seem likely to have an impact in one or more of these areas. Fellowships are awarded to candidates enrolled in master's and Ph.D. programs in the sciences whose proposals show the greatest potential to reduce, replace, or refine the use of animals in research, testing, and/or education. The fellowship provides up to $12,500 annually in support for tuition or salary and supplies per year and is renewable for up to three years.
