HARCC invites your participation in determining what projects are needed by avian clinicians
Our Mission and Objectives
Harrison Avian Research and Conservation Collaborative (HARCC) is committed to defining and solving challenges relevant to avian clinicians through research and conservation funding.
To support an environment that encourages new ideas and new approaches to avian research that drive advances in avian care.
To communicate the results of HARCC’s research projects, first through respected scientific publications, then broadly to veterinarians through international social media platforms.
To be willing to carefully consider novel, well described, clinically relevant projects that may not fit more traditional criteria for funding.
To be mindful of our carbon footprint in awarding grants.
To select projects with results that directly impact the practitioner who needs dependable knowledge and scientific-based guidance in addressing his avian patients.
