Applications sought for Moredun Foundation Awards

Funding is available for livestock health and welfare projects
Funding is available for livestock health and welfare projects

Farmers and crofters with an interest in conducting research projects related to livestock health and welfare are invited to apply for funding through the Moredun Foundation.

Applications are now open for the 2017 Moredun Foundation Awards, which offer funding of up to £2,000 for short-term projects relating to livestock health and welfare.

The Moredun Foundation is the farmer-led organisation which governs the work of the Moredun Research Institute at Penicuik, near Edinburgh.

It is on the hunt for project proposals from anyone resident in the UK over the age of 18, and funding is available to fund work experience, travel, or collaborations with science or the arts.

Moredun Foundation chairman, Ian Duncan Miller, said: “We have been delighted by the quality of projects that this scheme has supported over the past six years. It is a great way for those interested in livestock health and welfare to pursue a short term project and further develop their own knowledge and skills within the industry. We are looking forward to supporting a new round of projects and individuals, helping to broaden their horizons, while adding useful knowledge to the promotion of livestock health and welfare.”

Applications for the scheme must be submitted by Tuesday February 28.

Successful applications will be notified in writing by the end of March.
