Veterinary Fellows Applications Open
The need for skilled veterinarians to safeguard the nation’s food supply has never been more urgent. However, the U.S. is experiencing a critical shortage of veterinarians specializing in livestock and poultry, threatening public health, food safety, and the economic vitality of agricultural communities. To support the development of future veterinary researchers, the Foundation for Food & Agricultural Research and the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges established the FFAR Veterinary Student Fellowship in 2018. This year, the fellowship features several updates to expand its scope, eligibility, and impact. Veterinary research is critical to solving challenges affecting nutritional security, environmental sustainability, and public health. However, most fellowships available to veterinary students are limited to traditional biomedical research. The fellowship is open to domestic and international students currently enrolled in a DVM or VMD degree program. Students don’t need prior research experience, and matching funds are not required for this program.Source: NAFB
