Grant Information

The National Canine Cancer Foundation Research Grant Program was established to encourage and provide grant support for basic, pre-clinical and clinical research in high impact and innovative cancer research, which is intended to develop innovative approaches to a cure, treatment, diagnosis or prevention of cancers in dogs.

The program encourages collaboration between basic and clinical scientists with the intent of enhancing the transfer of basic research findings to clinical usefulness. The program fosters collaboration between basic and clinical scientists with the intent of enhancing the transfer of basic research findings to clinical usefulness and eventually new treatments and ultimately cures for cancer in dogs.

Grant applicants should have a clear plan for the clinical exploitation of the studies proposed and the results expected. This feature of the proposal will be an important consideration of the review process. The Foundation is also interested in breed specific proposals.

Researchers should clearly establish the significance of their proposed research. Successful proposals will include information and statistics, if available, regarding the impact of the health problem on: 1) affected dogs and/or 2) breeds of dogs, and 3) the canine population in general. This Program is intended to provide support over an initial one to three-year period. Cooperative and collaborative projects involving other investigators are encouraged. With the high potential of clinical trials, a research grant may be extended for two more years

Awards will be made for an initial three-year period; a renewal for an additional two years may be available for projects of high promise and that are entering or have entered the clinical trial phase. Awards will be limited to an annual maximum of $250,000 of which 11.1% may be used for institutional overhead. Budget requests must be carefully justified and commensurate with the needs of the project.
