Grant to Support Research, Advocacy, and Organizational work in Nevada (USA)
GrantID: 9406
Grant Funding Amount Low: Open
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: Open
Summary
This grant opportunity supports research, advocacy, and organizational work aimed at understanding and addressing the complex problems tied to large-scale animal production — especially in low- and middle-income countries worldwide. The funding is available to eligible academic institutions, nonprofit groups, or advocacy organizations — not for private businesses or individual entrepreneurs in general.
Applicants might use the funds to explore environmental impacts, food-system sustainability, public health, social equity, or welfare and policy issues related to intensive farmed animal systems. Grants are intended either to help universities and researchers plan new studies, conduct full research projects, or assist nonprofits in strengthening their capacity to use academic findings to inform advocacy and action.
For researchers, there are modest planning grants to support early-stage work: developing research proposals, coordinating teams, conducting pilot studies, performing literature reviews or fieldwork, and building proof-of-concepts before larger studies. These typically offer enough support to cover essential research-preparation tasks over a short period.
For larger, in-depth studies, there are fellowship-type grants with enough funding to allow scholars or small academic teams to focus full-time on detailed investigations, generate new data, and produce reports or guidance documents. In many cases, recipients are encouraged to deliver findings not just for academic audiences, but in ways that are accessible and useful for advocacy groups, policymakers, or community stakeholders — helping translate research into practical recommendations or outreach.
For nonprofit or advocacy groups (domestic or international), there is an opportunity to secure funding for evidence-based advocacy, capacity building, hiring or consulting academics, or organizing research-informed campaigns. This enables organizations working on the ground to deepen their knowledge base and approach the issues with greater credibility and rigor.
Grant sizes vary depending on program scope and need: smaller planning or pilot grants, moderate-sized awards for research projects, or somewhat larger—but still modest—awards for advocacy support and institutional capacity building. Awards are offered through discrete funding cycles, typically once per year for the main grant streams, although planning- or outreach-oriented requests may have more flexible submission windows.
