Foundation - Grants & Funding

Foundation Scientific Director, Greg Boivin, has summarized the first decade of ACLAM supported research grants. The Foundation has invested slightly over $1 million in 57 research studies. Investigative teams from 33 institutions have received awards. Of the 57 projects, thirty-eight (38) grants were awarded to institutions with ACLAM training programs and most of the projects had an ACLAM boarded veterinarian working on the team or serving as the PI.

What does ACLAM have to show for all of this work? A lot! While many of the projects are still active or in process of publication, the following results are complete. ACLAM grantees have 38 poster presentations, 23 oral presentations, and 39 publications in peer reviewed journals. Several more publications are in press or being prepared for submission, so these numbers are steadily increasing. In addition, five (5) NIH funded grants that have been awarded to grantees using the ACLAM Foundation studies as the preliminary data for their NIH funding.

The Foundation Committee members credit all our donors and grantees for their generosity and research expertise. ACLAM members have put their own dollars to work to make this success possible.
