The fund’s purpose is to promote evidence-based research into horse-assisted therapy (HAT) for different patient groups. The fund is open to international applicants.
Who can apply?
Since horse-assisted therapy is an emerging field of research, the areas the fund supports should be relatively open-ended and include at least three categories:
- Stipend for a PhD candidate’s research into HAT, where their thesis focuses wholly or partially on HAT.
- Stipend for a postdoctoral position dedicated wholly or partially to HAT. Exploration of new methodological procedures is considered particularly valuable.
- Prize given to the best institution with regard to promoting HAT research.
Especially promising research projects may receive support for up to 3 years.
The application deadline is February 15.
