UFAW SAWI Fund Research and Project Awards

Open for Application

Background

The UFAW/SAWI Fund for the Promotion of Animal Welfare in Israel is a restricted fund within UFAW that provides a limited amount of money each year to fund Research and Project Awards (amounts over £3,500) to promote the welfare of animals in Israel. Applications are judged on their merits for animal welfare, their scientific quality (in the case of research applications) and also in relation to other applications received.

Notes on UFAW SAWI Fund Research and Project Awards and conditions applying to them

Through its Research awards, the UFAW SAWI Fund aims to encourage high quality research that is likely to lead to substantial improvements in animal welfare. UFAW seeks to promote both fundamental research aimed at providing new insight into the subjective mental experiences of animals relevant to their welfare and at understanding their needs and preferences, and also to promote applied research aimed at developing practical solutions to animal welfare problems.

UFAW also supports other (non-research) projects that promote animal welfare, such as preparation and publication of books. This form should be used for applications for research or other projects for which more than £3,500 is sought.

UFAW is concerned with the welfare of farm, companion, laboratory, and captive wild animals and with free-living wild animals whose welfare is compromised by humans.

Applications for small projects (of less than £3,500), publications, or for travel should be made using the UFAW SAWI Fund Small Projects and Travel Awards Form. There is also a special application form for the UFAW Animal Welfare Research Training Scholarship. Applications may be submitted at any time but please apply at least 2 months before project start or registration deadline.
