Morris Animal Foundation is accepting requests for proposals for studies focused on equine behavior related to health and wellness. The deadline to apply is Oct. 7, and the budget cannot exceed $10,000. Indirect costs cannot be included for this Request for Proposals.
Project proposals should focus on improving the lives of horses by increasing the understanding of equine behavior. This includes areas such as cognition, learning, stereotypies, separation anxiety, affiliative behavior toward bonding with humans, equine psychopharmacology, and the effects of equine temperament on welfare.
Proposals may involve domesticated or wild horses.
The proposals will be funded by Dr. Wendy Koch, who has supported Morris Animal Foundation for 30 years. She has closely followed equine behavior and welfare research and found that funding available in these fields has been minimal.
