Request for Educational Grant Proposals
Breeders' Symposia or Research Conferences 2008 - 2009 The application of new research and technology demands that current information be made available to breeders, veterinarians, and scientists. Therefore, CHF seeks applications to conduct educational conferences, seminars, or symposia which provide current advances in canine health and genetics research including disease identification and treatment, pedigree analysis, breeding systems, and the use and application of canine genetics, clinical and laboratory tests and other research findings. Breeders’ Symposia should include a variety of topics including applications to a variety of breeds, applying the principles of canine genetics to breeding progress, current research or clinical progress in various disease areas, advances in canine reproduction and genetic testing, and proven applications to breeding programs. Breeders’ symposia are also typically sponsored by or coordinated through an accredited veterinary school and aimed at a primarily lay, but sophisticated audience. Research Conferences for veterinarians/scientists should include at least in part application of current research, and genetic/genomic research information to the practice of veterinary medicine. Research conferences may be sponsored by any accredited veterinary school, university, research institution, or professional scientific society. Meetings focusing on specific disease areas (e.g. epilepsy, heart disease) that affect a large number of breeds or a significant percentage of the companion dog population are also considered for funding in both Breeders’ Symposia and Research Conferences categories. Educational Grant Funding Guidelines Educational grants will be funded up to a maximum of $12,000. Educational proposals may be submitted at any time during the year, with the stipulation that the submission date be at least six months before the date of the conference. The Foundation supports the costs of conference planning, printing of materials, nominal speakers’ honoraria, and also assists with publicizing the event. Post-function distribution of materials is also highly encouraged. CHF must receive an electronic copy of all distributed materials and/or proceedings and abstracts.
