Margaret Gunn Endowment for Animal Research (MGEAR) Grant 2023

Eligibility

Individuals with regular faculty appointments are eligible. Individuals with adjunct appointments can be considered if a regular faculty member stands as a co-investigator. For such applicants, please include the Appendix form.

Summary

In 1993, the Margaret Gunn Endowment for Animal Research was established in honour of Margaret Dallas Gunn, a dairy farmer from the Carstairs area and friend of the University of Calgary. Funds are made available, annually, to support an Animal Health Research Grants Program.

The purpose is to support research in animal health and behaviour: with special attention to agriculture. This funding is to be viewed as a stepping stone towards future Tri-Council funding (or other equivalent funding as it relates to agriculture) and it must be a new project. The Vice-President (Research) awards the grants, based on the recommendation of the Margaret Gunn Endowment for Animal Research (MGEAR) Committee.

Animal Health Research Grants

Award is to support significant research initiatives in animal health and behaviour. Award amounts will be determined by the Committee. Awards are for up to two years and to be used for operating support of the project. Funding available is normally up to $60,000 over two years.
