FFAR Awards 13 with 2022 Veterinary Student Research Fellowships

August 12, 2022 — 

The Foundation for Food and Agriculture Research and the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges announced 13 recipients of the 2022 Veterinary Student Research Fellowships. This fellowship creates opportunities for veterinary students around the world to conduct research to advance global food security, sustainable animal production and environmental sustainability.

Veterinarians trained in animal science and public health are key to addressing many global challenges within the veterinary and agricultural fields. The FFAR Vet Fellows program enables veterinary students to pursue research outside of the biomedical sciences and gain experiential learning opportunities with a qualified mentor. This fellowship culminates with student presentations at the annual Veterinary Scholars Symposium

"FFAR is thrilled to support the fourth cohort of FFAR Vet Fellows in partnership with AAVMC," says Tim Kurt, DVM, scientific program director, Advanced Animal Systems. "This pioneering fellowship allows future veterinarians to sharpen their research skills to solve current and emerging food and agriculture challenges. We are excited about the variety of student research topics and the potential positive impacts on animal health and student career development."
