to Support H-A Bond Research |

|
WALTHAM and The American Association of Human-Animal Bond Veterinarians (AAH-ABV) are collaborating in order to stimulate new research in the area of human-animal interactions, with particular interest in the impact of pets on the physical well-being of children, the role of pets in the lives of elders, and the impact of culture on the human-animal bond. This collaborative effort offers an award of up to US$20,000 to support well-conceived and relevant proposals addressing human-animal bond issues. This is a competitive grant, and applications will be considered based upon their scientific merit and compliance with ethical standards. It is expected that recipients of a WALTHAM/AAH-ABV award will work at a university or research institute that provides basic research facilities, and will publish their research in scientific journals so that companion animals around the world benefit from the research. Proposals must be submitted by September 1, 2007, and the award will be announced by October, 2007. Research must be completed within two years of receiving the award.
AAH-ABV provides education, resources and support that enhance the ability of veterinarians to create positive and ethical relationships among people, animals, and their environment. The WALTHAM Centre for Pet Nutrition is a state-of-the-art pet care facility in United Kingdom dedicated to progressing the health and welfare of pets worldwide.
