Norman Hayward Fund
This fund is intended to be used for research into the disease and welfare of sheep, cattle and horses. This is a fantastic opportunity for researchers, both academic and practice based, who can demonstrate that their proposal will have a practical impact on the welfare of these animals.
Please note: Applicants seeking funding from the Norman Hayward Fund are required to submit a project overview form initially. Trustees may then invite applicants to submit a full application. The project overview form can be found in the updated research grant application form as Annexe 1.
GP West Fund
The Foundation has a small amount still available in this fund for feline research. These funds were received through a legacy from Geoffrey Philip West, author of Black's Veterinary Dictionary.
How to apply
Applications for funding to the Foundation are accepted on a rolling basis. Applications are normally assessed at the meetings of the BVA AWF trustees; 3 meetings are held each year. Where applications for large sums of money are made applicants may be invited to meet with the BVA AWF trustees. Proposals must be submitted on BVA AWF funding proposal forms which can be downloaded below. You may also apply online.
