The International Foundation for Ethical Research (IFER) is now accepting pre-proposal applications for 2020-2021 Graduate Fellowships. 

Applications are due no later than 11:59 PM CST on Thursday, April 30, 2020.

IFER Graduate Fellowships are one-year grants of typically $12,500 for projects that support the development, acceptance and implementation of innovative scientific methodologies that advance science and refine, reduce or replace the use of animals in research, testing or education. Grants are renewable annually for up to three years, depending on student progress and availability of funds. 

Special consideration and additional financial support may be given to proposals that are likely to replace the use of animals in research, and for those projects that are likely to refine, reduce or replace the use of nonhuman primates in biomedical research. 

By funding early career researchers with an interest in developing innovative alternatives to animal experiments, IFER hopes to seed the scientific field with talented individuals prepared to integrate scientific discovery with ethics and respect for animals. 

Recipients of IFER Graduate Fellowships, selected by IFER’s Scientific Advisory Board, have the potential to positively change the course of science by working to promote the advancement of humane methodologies that can spare animal suffering. Since 1985, grants totaling more than one million dollars have been awarded to promising young researchers who are developing alternatives to the use of animals in science.
