The National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association Grants Program awards research grants in the field of wildlife rehabilitation, including wildlife medicine and wildlife education. NWRA encourages and supports wildlife rehabilitation organizations in conducting independent and/or collaborative research projects.
Many types of projects are welcome to apply for funding, such as those studying post-release survival, clinical treatments, disease syndromes, behavior, nutrition, and more. Such studies offer an opportunity to evaluate and compare the success of varying approaches utilized in modern rehabilitation practices.
Wildlife rehabilitation is a young science and frequently is criticized for its lack of quantitative evidence describing survivorship, behavioral responses, and overall reproductive fitness of rehabilitated wildlife following release. It also primarily involves poorly studied species where common health problems and challenges are under-investigated and lack applicable scientific literature.
Through funding research projects, NWRA hopes to improve wildlife rehabilitation techniques, allow for continued growth within the profession, and to expand scientific knowledge about the species in our care. Box turtle from 2021 research grant. Photo courtesy of Deborah Sykes.

Future NWRA Post-release Study Research Mentorship Assistance: In an effort to promote and support research through National Wildlife Rehabilitators Association members, one of the Post-release Study Committee’s objectives is to develop and provide Research Mentorship assistance with the following goals: 1. To foster scientific inquiry by NWRA members and member organizations. 2.
To assist members in developing project descriptions, scientific study designs, statistical analyses, and manuscript preparation. 3. To help rehabilitators further advance knowledge and improve care of rehabilitated wildlife.
4. To disseminate findings to the scientific and rehabilitation community through published papers and oral and poster presentations at scientific conferences. The NWRA Research Committee encourages and supports post-release studies of rehabilitated wildlife and the wide dissemination of the information that is gained from such studies.
