Canine Degenerative Myelopathy Pre-Proposals Open

The AKC Canine Health Foundation (CHF) invites pre-proposals for research that advances progress in treating, curing, or better management of degenerative myelopathy (DM) in dogs. This grant opportunity is made possible through the generosity of a dedicated donor, Bubba’s Buddies, who shares our vision to improve the quality of life for all dogs affected by this neurodegenerative disease.

CHF welcomes innovative approaches that may include, but are not limited to:

  • Therapeutic strategies: development or testing of interventions to slow or halt disease progression.
  • Diagnostic advancements: biomarkers or tools to improve early and accurate identification.
  • Disease management: supportive care strategies that improve quality of life and mobility.
  • Translational relevance: research that may accelerate progress from discovery to clinical application.

This two-stage process requires all applicants to first submit a pre-proposal; selected applicants will then be invited to submit a full proposal. This process allows evaluation of funding priorities and an opportunity for early feedback while optimizing time and resources before developing a full proposal.
