Funding-Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation--RESEARCH CALL; October 1, 2014

Once again, Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation looks forward to receipt of proposals on the soundness and health of horses. We are particularly interested in musculoskeletal issues, but of course are also interested in the full range of infectious diseases, laminitis, cardio-pulmonary problems, etc.

Starlight Stable has issued a challenge grant of $75,000 for laminitis research contingent on our raising a like amount, which we are confident we can do. Therefore, we expect to have $150,000 earmarked for laminitis, although it would not all have to be spent in 2015. Also, additional grants on laminitis would be eligible for the none-earmarked funds.

We remind you that as of last year, the Foundation relaxed its policy on overhead and again will provide up to 10% for that purpose.

Also, the Klein Family of Louisville has created a $15,000 Career Development Award, which we can add to the existing Storm Cat Career Development Award. A single application will suffice for both.

The deadline for general research grants is Oct. 1 and the deadline for the Career Development Awards is Nov. 1. The forms are available on our website, grayson-jockeyclub.org.

We would appreciate your circulating this information to any and all appropriate parties within your institution. Also, please let us know of anyone else you believe should receive this alert.

Sincerely,

Edward L. Bowen

President
