About American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine
American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine centers its grantmaking on research tied to laboratory animal medicine and the health and welfare of research animals. In the most recent grants listed, its support reached major research institutions through awards such as $49,071 to Medical University of South Carolina, $47,407 to University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and $46,944 to Memorial Sloan Kettering for research. The pattern shows a funder that supports biomedical research through project-based awards rather than individual giving. The foundation’s stated mission is to advance the humane care and responsible use of laboratory animals through certification of veterinary specialists, professional development, education, and research. That mission is reflected in its program structure, which includes ACLAM Foundation Research Grants and an annual Charles River Prize for Laboratory Animal Science. Across the recent grants list, recipients include universities, medical schools, and research organizations, indicating a focus on institutions where laboratory animal science intersects with biomedical research and veterinary expertise. Its grantmaking is national in reach, with awards distributed across multiple states and no grants recorded in New Hampshire. The most recent activity also shows continued support over several years, with grants listed in both 2023 and 2025.
What American College of Laboratory Animal Medicine Funds
The foundation’s clearest emphasis is research support. It awarded $30,000 to University of Texas for research, $29,718 to University of Washington for research, and $28,691 to Stanford University for research, all within the same broad laboratory animal medicine and biomedical research context. A second thread is support for animal health and welfare within research settings. Its active ACLAM Foundation Research Grants program is described as funding research to expand knowledge supporting biomedical research and the health and welfare of research animals. The organization also supports professional recognition in the field through the Charles River Prize for Laboratory Animal Science, an annual honor awarded to a veterinarian for outstanding contributions to laboratory animal science and medicine. That prize includes a plaque and a $3,500 honorarium. The recent grant list further points to education and training as part of its work, with awards to research-intensive universities such as Wake Forest University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
