Research Training Scholarship Offered
The Universities Federation for Animal Welfare (UFAW) has given advance notice that it intends to offer both a Research Training Scholarship and a UFAW 3Rs Liaison Group Studentship later this year.

Potential applicants will have time to consider ideas for possible projects over the summer before the awards are open for application in autumn 2010.
 
The Research Training Scholarship scheme, introduced by UFAW in 1998, is designed to encourage high quality science likely to lead to substantial advances in animal welfare. This award (likely to be up to a maximum of £100,000) is to enable a veterinary or science graduate to undertake a three-year programme of research leading to a degree at the doctorate level. 
 
The UFAW 3Rs Liaison Group funds research that is likely to lead to practical solutions for advancing the welfare of laboratory animals. The Studentship (likely to be up to a maximum of £75,000) is to enable a promising graduate to undertake a three-year programme of research leading to a degree at the doctorate level within the British Isles in any aspect of the Replacement, Reduction, or Refinement of laboratory animal use.
 
Further background information on the two awards can be seen on the grants and awards page of the UFAW website (www.ufaw.org.uk).

RCVS annual renewal fee for vets due

RCVS' annual renewal fee for veterinary surgeons is now due. Vets must pay their renewal fee before Wednesday, 1 April 2026.

This year's standard annual fee has increased to 431 from last year's 418. This is an approximately three per cent increase, as approved by RCVS Council and the Privy Council.

Tshidi Gardner, RCVS treasurer, said: "The small fee increase will be used to help deliver both our everyday activities and our new ambitious Strategic Plan, which includes aims such as achieving new legislation, reviewing the Codes of Professional Conduct and supporting guidance, and continuing to support the professions through activities such as the Mind Matters Initiative, RCVS Academy and career development."

A full breakdown of the new fees is on the RCVS website. Information about tax relief is available on the UK government website.
