Press Release Regarding Call for Proposals

The American Association of Human-Animal Bond Veterinarians (AAH-ABV) and WALTHAM are collaborating on a research program exploring the nature of the human-animal bond. These organizations are issuing a call for proposals for investigations into areas of human-animal interaction that either have not been explored or that need further examination. These sponsoring organizations are particularly interested in questions regarding the impact of pets on the physical well-being of children (e.g. immunity, allergy, obesity), how pets affect the quality of life of elderly people, or how culture impacts the human-animal bond. Proposals must be submitted by September 1, 2007.
