Margaret Gunn Endowment for Animal Research (MGEAR)
In 1993, the Margaret Gunn Endowment for Animal Research was established in honour of Margaret Dallas Gunn, a dairy farmer from the Carstairs area and friend of UCalgary. Funds are made available, annually, to support an Animal Health Research Grants Program. The purpose is to support research in animal health and behaviour: with special attention to agriculture. Funding available is normally up to $60K over two years, and is to be viewed as a stepping stone towards future Tri-Council funding (or other equivalent funding as it relates to agriculture) and it must be a new project. For more info please click here.
