CRWAD Membership
Membership in the Conference of Research Workers in Animal Diseases (CRWAD) connects you to a global community advancing the most current research advances in animal diseases.
💡CRWAD is introducing updated membership categories to better represent all members of our community, including a tier for students and an associate member tier for postdoctoral fellows, associate scientists, and veterinary residents who have not yet reached independent status.
Membership in the Conference of Research Workers in Animal Diseases (CRWAD) is open to individuals with a professional interest in animal health or One Health. Eligible members now include research scientists, educators, extension specialists, administrators, postdoctoral fellows, graduate and undergraduate students, veterinary students and residents, veterinarians, and producers who are committed to advancing research in animal health and One Health.
Updated Membership Categories
Membership runs on the calendar year (January 1 to December 31) and renews annually with payment. Members self-select their category on an honor system, and we review category changes to confirm everyone lands in the right tier.
- Professional — $150 USD per year. For individuals with a PhD or DVM actively employed in research, educational, extension, or administrative roles interested in animal health or One Health.
- New! Associate — $100 USD per year. For postdoctoral fellows, associate scientists, and veterinary residents who have earned a PhD or DVM but have not yet reached independent status.
- New! Student — $50 USD per year. For undergraduate, graduate, or veterinary students who have not yet earned a PhD or DVM.
- Fellow — Free. All awarded CRWAD Fellows retain their membership for free as a gift for their professional contributions to the field.
