Nominations are currently OPEN!

We are now receiving applications for the CALAM/ACMAL Award and Student Travel Award until May 1st!

The CALAM award recognizes a Veterinarian who has made outstanding contributions to the field of laboratory animal medicine and welfare.

The Veterinary Student Travel Award is intended to increase awareness of, and interest in, the practice of laboratory animal medicine by assisting veterinary students who have demonstrated an interest in the field to attend the annual CALAS Symposium and associated CALAM/ACMAL events (Luncheon, Scientific Sessions).
