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 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.

Awards will be limited to an annual range of $25,000 to $100,000 of which 11.1% may be used for institutional overhead. Budget requests must be carefully justified and commensurate with the needs of the project.

The National Canine Cancer Foundation funding of grant research is based on milestone driven funding. After the initial project is funded and if certain milestones are research, the NCCF will consider further funding of additional phases and/or clinical trials for the research project.

At present, we are requiring a Preliminary Grant Application and, if after reviewing the preliminary application we feel that there is enough interest in the project, we will require the applicant to submit a Full Grant Application.
