The scientific funding (animal health/animal breeding) of the COSMO Art & Science Foundation supports innovative research projects nationwide that sustainably improve the welfare of livestock and pets. The focus is on initiatives in the fields of genetics, veterinary medicine, and animal breeding, which, for example, prevent hereditary eye diseases in dogs or provide new insights into breeding health. As part of its commitment to science, innovation, and animal welfare, the foundation promotes tailored concepts that also consider aspects of energy efficiency and climate protection in animal husbandry. The continuous awarding of grants enables research projects to be submitted flexibly throughout the year and quickly put into practice. The COSMO Art & Science Foundation places special emphasis on interdisciplinary collaboration among research teams, educational institutions, and commercial partners to develop practical solutions for animal health and breeding.

Eligible for funding are both scientific institutes as well as private individuals and companies engaged in the field of animal breeding or veterinary medicine who present a well-founded research concept. A prerequisite for a successful application is proof of professional expertise as well as a detailed presentation of the project objectives, methodology, and expected impacts. The call is particularly aimed at experts in genetics, veterinarians, breeders, and interdisciplinary research teams who wish to combat genetic diseases and improve quality standards in animal breeding. Thanks to the continuously open application process, interested parties can submit their documents at any time and benefit from a prompt review. With this funding offer, the COSMO Art & Science Foundation contributes to advancing scientific knowledge in animal health and strengthening responsible animal husbandry in the long term.
