American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation – Canine Health RFP
The AKC Canine Health Foundation supports basic and clinical research into canine health and well-being through our Research Program Areas. Subjects of emphasis within our program areas include genetics, mechanisms of disease, pathology and molecular basis of disease, and clinical application of research findings to the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of canine diseases. Collaborative, multi-disciplinary teams of investigators who can approach hypothesis-driven research from a multi-‘omics’ perspective will be considered more competitive than investigators working in isolation. The AKC Canine Health Foundation embraces a "One-Health" translational approach to investigations for comparative medicine that will benefit both dogs and their people.
Proposals are being accepted for the following Research Program Areas:
- Behavior Research Program Area
- Blood Disorders Research Program Area
