MSD Animal Health Research Bursary for Veterinary Surgeons

Applications for the 2019 MSD Animal Health Veterinary Surgeon Research Bursaries have now closed but will reopen for applications in August 2020.

The MSD Animal Health Research Bursary for Veterinary Surgeons offers three awards, consisting of two ruminant bursaries and one companion animal bursary, of up to £4,000 each for research into specific disease/subject areas. 

Each project is expected to be completed within one to two years and the proposals are judged by university academics to ensure independent assessment.  The companion animal research bursary will be assessed by the University of Nottingham Centre for Evidence-based Veterinary Medicine and the ruminant research bursary applications will be assessed by academic staff from the University of Bristol School of Veterinary Science.

Successful applicants are encouraged to present or publish their findings, as a poster or abstract, at a relevant UK veterinary conference.
