The mission of Morris Animal Foundation is to bridge science and resources to advance the health of animals. Through funding hypothesis-driven, humane research projects with high scientific merit, they aim at significant impact. As a non-profit funded by public support and endowment earnings, they prioritize impactful animal health research that benefits a wide range of stakeholders including veterinarians, pet owners, and communities.
The grant program is focused on funding research related to canine cancer, aiming to improve canine health through the study of genetic epidemiology, genetic and epigenetic changes predictive of cancer risk, the development of diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers, and tumor genomic profiling. The Morris Animal Foundation encourages proposals that leverage specimens and data from the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, a longitudinal cohort study of 3,044 purebred golden retrievers that tracks the incidence and risk factors for cancer and other diseases. However, it is open to proposals using other samples and data. Priority is given to applicants with a strong record of expertise in their field, as demonstrated through peer-reviewed publications.
