DEADLINE: JAN 27, 2016
The vision of the Human Animal Bond Research Initiative Foundation (HABRI) is
to demonstrate that our relationship with pets and animals makes the world a
better place by significantly improving human health and quality of life. HABRI does
this by advancing the growing body of evidence about the positive roles that
companion animals play in the integrated health of individuals, families, and
communities.
To that end, HABRI, in partnership with the Morris Animal
Foundation, is calling for research proposals that investigate the health
outcomes of pet ownership and/or animal-assisted activity or therapy, both for
people and the animals involved.
Priority will be given to projects that focus
on novel approaches to studying the health effects of animals on humans within
the broad categories of child health and development, healthy aging, and mental
health and wellness. HABRI is interested in proposals that involve a variety of
animals (e.g., dogs, cats, fish, horses, reptiles, and various small animals).
Approximately $200,000
will be available for multiple grants. It is expected that between five and ten
grants will be awarded.
See the Morris Animal Foundation website for complete program
guidelines and application instructions.
