The Human Animal Bond Research Initiative (HABRI) Foundation vision
is to demonstrate that our relationship with pets and animals make the world a
better place by significantly improving human health and quality of life.
HABRI is calling for research proposals to investigate the
health outcomes of pet ownership and/or animal-assisted activity or therapy,
both for the people and the animals involved. HABRI is interested in proposals
that involve a variety of animals (e.g. dogs, cats, fish, horses, reptiles,
small animals). Approx. $200,000 will be available for multiple grants. It is
expected that 5-10 grants will be awarded. 
Proposals should focus on innovative
approaches to studying the health effects of animals on humans within the
following broad categories: - Child Health and Development
- Healthy Aging
- Mental Health and Wellness
Request for proposals addressing evidence-based health benefits of human-animal interaction deadline: Jan 27, 2016
