● Review Process: A multi-tier evaluation by the HHRF Scientific Advisory Council , with finalists invited to submit a link to a short, 2-7 minute, video walkthrough of ALL premises where equines will be located, clearly demonstrating site, safety, ethical, welfare and quality standards and a 15-minute pre-recorded video presentation followed by a live Q&A with the HHRF Board of Directors.
● Eligibility: Preference will be given to researchers with strong credentials, a track record of scientific excellence, and studies demonstrating rigor and clinical significance who incorporate or include practitioners in their team to ensure ecological validity of their proposed study .
HHRF supports the One Health approach, which the CDC defines as “the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment. ” This grant aims to advance peer-reviewed research that fills critical knowledge gaps in equine-assisted interactions and promotes evidence-based practices.
