British Small Animal Veterinary Association

About British Small Animal Veterinary Association

BSAVA PetSavers primarily funds UK-based companion animal research, with a strong emphasis on building the veterinary research pipeline from students through early-career researchers. Their grants support practical clinical questions in dogs and cats, especially studies that improve diagnosis, treatment, and management of common small-animal conditions, and many awards are tied to academic or practice-based supervision. The funder is distinctive for its structured, program-specific support and for helping researchers move toward independent careers rather than providing open-ended philanthropic grants.
