Morris Animal Foundation seeks canine cancer study proposals
Proposals due by Wednesday, August 16
This request for proposals from Morris Animal Foundation is directed toward research on canine cancer that has potential to improve canine health. Of particular interest are genetic epidemiology studies, studies of genetic and epigenetic changes predictive of cancer risk, development of diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers and tumor genomic profiling.
Proposals that aim to leverage Golden Retriever Lifetime Study specimens and data are encouraged, though proposals leveraging other samples and data may also be submitted.
Dr. Kathy Tietje, chief program officer at Morris Animal Foundation, said in a news release that the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study provides a unique opportunity to understand the origins of canine cancer.
The foundation also encourages fellowship applications from individuals from historically marginalized groups. These minority fellowships are funded by Sally R. McIntosh through the Donor-Inspired Study program. McIntosh seeks to provide fellowship funding to support applicants from historically marginalized groups interested in studying canine health. She said that she hopes to make "a tiny dent" in diversifying the animal health research community.
Visit the foundation's Grants page for more information including proposal documents.
Proposals are due by Wednesday, Aug. 16, 2023, 4:59 p.m. ET.
