Alternatives
Research & Development Foundation Offers
Funding for Non-Animal Biomedical Research
Methods
Deadline: April 30, 2007
The mission of the Alternatives Research &
Development Foundation ( http://www.ardf-online.org/
) is to fund and promote the development,
validation, and adoption of non-animal
methods in biomedical research, product
testing, and education.
Proposals are judged primarily on the basis
of the extent to which the project will
significantly reduce or replace laboratory
animals, and scientific merit and
feasibility.
Grants from the foundation are made only to
individuals affiliated with a nonprofit
tax-exempt institution, organization, or
foreign equivalent.
Preferential consideration will be given to
proposals that utilize human rather than
non-human vertebrate tissue, and to
proposals that are from individuals
associated with U.S. institutions or
organizations.
Funding is for one year. The maximum funding
available is $40,000.
