H. Wilhelm Schaumann Stiftung is a specialized German research foundation focused on animal and agricultural sciences, with a particular emphasis on animal nutrition, livestock science, breeding, reproduction, biotechnology, and animal health. It primarily supports scientific research, early-career scholars, and academic excellence through scholarships, project grants, awards, and conference/travel subsidies. Its giving is highly field-specific and oriented toward universities and research institutions in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland rather than general nonprofit work.
Primarily invite-only and nomination-based grants, with support delivered through biennial awards, PhD scholarships, project donations to scientific institutions, and smaller subsidies for conferences, travel, and publications. Grant sizes range from modest recognition awards of €500-€1,000 to larger research prizes around €10,000, with a strong preference for academic institutions and supervised doctoral candidates.

Most opportunities are not open-call grants: dissertation and study awards are nomination-based, and PhD scholarships must be submitted by the supervising professor. Applicants should be affiliated with a university or research institution in Germany, Austria, or Switzerland and ensure their project clearly fits animal/agricultural sciences, especially animal nutrition and livestock-related research.
