Equid Proposals - Established Investigator, First and Pilot Study Awards

Morris Animal Foundation (MAF)


Agency: Foundation

GrantWatch ID #181760

Grant Description

Grants and fellowships to USA, Canada, and International researchers and research teams associated with institutions for projects to improve the health and welfare of large companion animals, such as horses, mules, ponies, and donkeys. Applicants must register for the online portal prior to submitting an application.

The mission of Morris Animal Foundation is to bridge science and resources to advance the health of animals. To achieve this aim, the Foundation funds hypothesis-driven, humane research projects with high scientific merit and the potential for significant impact.

The Foundation is accepting proposals on all topics that aim to improve domestic equid health. This year, the Foundation is specifically interested in funding one or more proposals that answers one of the following research questions on the topic of pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction (PPID), that were identified during a priority setting partnership workshop:

  1. In animals with PPID, what is the expected disease progression over their lifetime both with and without treatment?
  2. In animals with PPID, are there any effective treatments other than pergolide? These may include non-prescription treatments e.g. Agnus Castus, homeopathy or other herbal products.
  3. In animals with PPID receiving treatment with pergolide, is the risk of laminitis reduced?
  4. What are the short- and/or long-term side effects of pergolide treatment in animals with PPID?
  5. In animals with PPID, does the dose of pergolide need to vary with the season?
  6. In animals with suspected PPID, what is the best way to deal with inconclusive or conflicting test results and/or clinical signs?
  7. What is the best way of dealing with animals with PPID who do not respond to pergolide treatment even when the maximum dose has been reached?

Proposals should advance the science of the health and overall welfare of domestic horses, ponies, donkeys, and mules. Please note that for racehorses and other professional athletes, the Foundation funds research focused on health and quality of life only where outcomes are likely to be of universal equine/equid benefit. Use of other species as models (including laboratory rodents) is not appropriate for this topic.
