Call for Dogs Trust research funding applications
The funding is being made available through Dogs Trusts' Canine Welfare Grants Programme.
Deadline for applications is Wednesday, 12 May.

Dogs Trust is calling for preliminary applications from researchers seeking funding for projects that positively impact dog welfare.

The funding is being made available through the organisation’s Canine Welfare Grants (CWG) Programme that aims to improve the welfare of all dogs for generations to come.

Paula Boyden, Dogs Trust veterinary director, said: “Applications for projects can cover an enormous range of subjects that help improve our understanding of dog welfare. In the past, we have seen research that has looked into the health risks of breeding dogs with short muzzles and another led to the discovery of a genetic variant that predisposes some dogs to the condition Syringomyelia.

“The applications we receive will go through a rigorous two-stage assessment process. We accept projects with timeframes of between approximately one and three years, depending on the subject area.”

Applicants are invited to focus on one of the following areas: 

·       the genetic basis of disease or reduced welfare in dogs 
·       healthy ageing in dogs 
·       epidemiology of disease 
·       the welfare of dogs suffering from chronic disease. 
 
The deadline for applications is Wednesday, 12 May. Full terms and conditions can be found at visit dogstrust.org.uk
