We want to promote scientific projects that eliminate the need for animal testing. That’s why we do what we do. If your project involves animal-free methods, you can apply to us for assistance.

We offer two forms of assistance:

• In cash
• In kind

In cash

If you are seeking a cash contribution, there are two options. You can apply to us for co-funding within a grant application procedure, or you can apply for a (small) grant for a project that is already underway.

In kind

You can also request assistance in kind. In addition to issuing a letter of support, we can also contribute materially to your project. This usually involves assisting with communication or dissemination (publishing guidelines and making the general public aware of innovations).

Conditions of collaboration

We believe in a world where there will eventually be no need for animal testing. To help achieve this, we support projects that meet the following criteria:

1. The research must be 100% free of animal testing.
2. In the case of in vitro applications, the use of fetal calf serum (FCS) must be avoided where possible.
3. 3. Project managers must be willing to assist with our communication activities and fundraising efforts. This includes writing blogs and contributing to visual content (photos and videos).

For more information about our funding criteria, please download and read our Conditions of Funding Agreement.
