FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

 

Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation – Special Call for Research Proposals – Acting on the advice of the Scientific Advisory Committee, the board of directors of the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation has authorized a Special Call For Research Proposals.  Specifically, this call is for research to investigate the mechanisms of action and the efficacy of the surgical and medical manipulation of the growth of the physes of foals for alteration of conformation.  A large sum of money is spent each year in an attempt to raise foals with the most correct conformation possible.  Though surgical and medical treatments have been used for years, little dependable information is available on the efficacy and mechanism of action of many of the procedures.

The Board of Directors authorized up to $100,000 in 2008 to be devoted to the process of competitive grant application for the investigation.  The board hopes that investigators will develop creative methods for the documentation of the effect of many or all of the various procedures now in use.  THE DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSION IS JUNE 15, 2008, with a decision anticipated by the August meeting of the board of directors.  The standard grant application and application guidelines can be found at http://www.grayson-jockeyclub.org/grantsDisplay.asp
