Faculty Research Grants
Faculty Research Grants
The Center for Companion Animal Health has established a competitive faculty research grant program at the UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine. We invite vet school faculty who are interested in companion animal health to submit proposals for funding. The call for this program goes out in March each year and proposals are due in early May. Funding begins in the following fiscal year. Please contact Sharon Anglin via email skanglin@ucdavis.edu or by phone at (530) 752-7295 for more information, or visit our "internal" web site (UC Davis kerberos login required).
