The National Canine Cancer Foundation, a nationwide, contribution funded, not-for-profit corporation, has committed to its contributors, that funds will go directly to the scientist studying cancer. To achieve this the Foundation focuses it's funding on investigator-initiated, peer-reviewed proposals. This process ensures that scientists propose projects that they believe are ready to be tackled with the available knowledge and techniques, rather than working on projects designed by administrators who are far removed from the front lines of research. This intellectual freedom encourages discovery in areas that scientists believe are most likely to solve the problems of cancer.

The purpose of the Foundation’s Research Grant Program is 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.

REVIEW PROCEDURES

The Foundation is committed to attracting and funding outstanding investigators and research centers.

As Foundation policy, the Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Board, along with its Grant Review Board, conduct scientific peer review according to the Foundations’ review criteria.

OUR GRANT POLICIES

Proposals are sought from researchers in a variety of disciplines including but not limited to veterinary researchers, geneticists, and molecular and other biological scientists. Cooperative and collaborative projects involving other investigators are encouraged. Applications are sought proposing novel approaches to the cure, prevention, diagnosis or treatment of cancers.

Grant Policies cont'd

Incorporating the recommendations of the Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Board and its Grant Review Board, the National Canine Cancer Foundation seeks to fund cancer research in, but not limited to, the following areas:

· Basic research: Directed to understanding the events related to the development or prevention of cancer at the molecular, cellular, and organismic levels, as well as the discovery and development of new anticancer drugs or other anticancer therapies.

· Preclinical (clinically relevant) research: Aims primarily at providing results applicable to the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of canine cancer or to the rehabilitation of the cancer patient but which are not yet ready for use in dog.

· Epidemiology research: Investigates the circumstances under which cancer occurs in dog generally and in specific dog breeds, including the epidemiology of behavior and lifestyle factors, as well as molecular epidemiology and gene-environment interactions.

· Clinical research: Utilizes animal subjects or materials and has direct application to the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of cancer in the dogs under study, or the rehabilitation (including quality-of-life issues) of the patients.

· Cancer control research: Investigates how scientifically obtained information can be efficiently and effectively applied to defined groups of people or at the community level to reduce the burden of cancer.

· Psychosocial and behavioral cancer research: Directed at understanding and improving the motivational and financial factors in cancer prevention and screening, by the dog’s owners.

· Health services research: Examines the interface of the canine health care system with the dog’s owners, with the goal of improving access and reducing costs and other barriers to prevention and screening to diagnosis cancer at an earlier, more treatable, stage of the disease.
