CIVME Grant Program

The Council on International Veterinary Medical Education (CIVME) is an initiative of the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC), which is keen to promote and share best practices in veterinary medical education around the world.

The council's grant program will provide a means for:

  • Communication and collaboration that advances veterinary medical education around the world
  • Collaboration among educational researchers
  • Dissemination of innovations and other educational advances, to magnify the impact of projects by outreach to educators and their respective organizations

The CIVME Grant Program includes: 

The CIVME Research Grant, which has two categories (Educational Research Projects and Educational Exchange Projects).

The project budgets for all grants should not exceed $10,000 and are limited for a period of max. 24 months. Due to the size of the CIVME grants, indirect project costs are not considered. Preference will be given to applications that are collaborative efforts between institutions and across regions.
