Despite years of hard work by scientists, researchers, practicing veterinarians, pork producers, animal health companies, and others, Porcine Reproductive and Respiratory Syndrome (PRRS) remains a costly, frustrating challenge to the global swine industry.
Each year Boehringer-Ingelheim issues a call for proposals for the Annual Boehringer Ingelheim Advancement in PRRS Research Award Program. The deadline for submissions are January 1 of each year.
Boehringer Ingelheim will provide three U.S. $25,000 awards to the winning proposals for PRRS research in the NAFTA region. Candidates included graduate students, academic researchers, company or private researchers, and practicing veterinarians. The 2010 Advancement in PRRS Research Awards recipients will be announced at the American Association of Swine Veterinarians Conference in Omaha, Nebraska.
Objective: Examine practical methods of controlling, managing, and possibly eradicating the PRRS virus.
