Students whose projects utilize human cell lines, stem cells, computational models, and other non-animal methods in place of animal models are encouraged to apply.

About IFER:

Since 1985, IFER has awarded more than $2 million in funding to researchers dedicated to advancing alternatives to the use of animals in science. These fellowships offer an opportunity to contribute to the growing field of human-relevant research, paving the way for scientific innovation and ethical progress.
