The Canadian Kennel Club Foundation (CKCF) issued a call to Canadian research institutions for funding proposals of up to $30,000 to support canine health research involving causes, diagnosis and treatment of canine diseases. 

Proposals are due by July 1, 2014 when they will be peer reviewed with recommendations provided to the CKCF board of directors for final approval. Successful applicants will be announced by November 1, 2014. 

"I am very pleased that the CKCF is moving forward with this important work that will ultimately improve the quality of life for our canine companions who bring so much to our lives," said Foundation president Marg Moran McQuinn.
