Our directed purpose is to support avian conservation by disseminating information, increasing awareness, shaping policy, and soliciting and reviewing proposals for grants. Successful conservation requires the broad participation of multiple disciplines, and is therefore not limited to working within the veterinary community.
Priority is given to in situ conservation programs.
Veterinarians, non-veterinarians, and students are encouraged to apply. The AAV awards small grants each year for projects that address the conservation needs of wild avian populations, and is interested in funding projects related to issues of avian habitat preservation, education, and research. Priority will be given to in situ conservation efforts. Veterinarians, non-veterinarians, and students are encouraged to apply. Unfortunately, extensions for the receipt deadline will not be allowed.
