For the last eight years, BIVI has contributed at least $75,000 annually through its Advancement in PRRS Research Awards, which fund three selected research programs. The company’s PRRS research award program is open to swine veterinarians, diagnosticians or public and private researchers in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Selected programs are designed to investigate new ways to diagnose, control and eradicate this costly swine disease.
Research proposals must be submitted by 1 January 2011 and awards will be presented during the 2011 American Association of Swine Veterinarians (AASV) Annual Meeting in Phoenix. Proposals will be selected by an independent review board based on established criteria including potential economic impact to the swine industry, originality and scientific quality and probability of success in completing the year-long study.
This year, BIVI recognized three veterinarians and researchers for the 2010 Advancement in PRRS Research Award. These recipients were Robert Morrison, DVM, Ph.D., University of Minnesota; Paul Yeske, DVM, MS, Swine Vet Center, St. Peter, Minnesota; Mark Wagner, DVM, Fairmont Veterinary Clinic, Fairmont, Minnesota.
To participate in the research program, submit a proposal, cover sheet, curriculum vitae and two letters of recommendation by 1 January 2011, to:
