Oncology Grants
In continuation of CHF’s strong support of canine cancer research, the Oncology Research Program Area remains committed to innovative research that will aid in the discovery of advanced diagnostic technology and therapeutic target identification.
To make sense of the complexity of cancer, new approaches are needed to provide comprehensive characterization of tumors and other canine cancers. These approaches will likely require broad bioinformatic analyses, high throughput methodologies and systems biology tools.

The AKC Canine Health Foundation funds research in 23 different Research Program Areas for the health of all dogs. These program areas enable the Foundation to create depth in our research portfolio and help us to be responsive to the health concerns of our constituents.
Help Future Generations of Dogs
Participate in canine health research by providing samples or by enrolling in a clinical trial. Samples are needed from healthy dogs and dogs affected by specific diseases.
