HSA Large Research Grant

The HSA Large Research Grant supports larger scientific research projects focused on the humane treatment of animals during transport, marketing, slaughter, and killing for welfare reasons and disease control. This funding opportunity is specifically designed for research projects requiring over £5,000 in support. The grant promotes animal welfare research with a primary focus on welfare outcomes rather than production or meat quality parameters. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year, though submissions must be received at least two months before the project start date. The HSA works to advance humane practices worldwide and supports research that directly contributes to improved animal welfare standards in these specific contexts.
