Applications are now being accepted for the BC Foundation for Non-Animal Research (BC FNAR) funding program for the 2021 academic year. BC FNAR is committed to supporting a diverse range of creative methods that challenge the use of animals in research, testing, and education and encourages the adoption of alternatives to harmful animal use across Canada.
The Foundation provides grants of up to $10,000 to emerging or established scientists for biomedical experiments, development of testing methods, and teaching curriculum that do not involve animal use. This may also include capital equipment and software which facilitates the replacement of animal use in teaching or training.
We encourage a diversity of applicants who are working to further the development and discourse of non-animal research. Priority will be given to applications that have a clear goal, which are timely, and which have a profound effect on thought and practice.
Applications will be accepted until March 1, 2021. You can find the application form here.
