The Open Philanthropy Project awarded two grants totaling $40,000 to the International Society for Applied Ethology (ISAE) to support travel scholarships for 14 animal welfare scientists from developing nations to attend ISAE’s 2017 International Congress on applied animal behavior and welfare. ISAE is a non-profit professional organization that focuses on the scientific study of applied animal behavior.
Open Philanthropy views this as a learning grant within its work on farm animal welfare. It may consider making similar grants in the future if there is significant interest and evidence of positive results.
