 GRANT APPLICATIONS
Applicants will need to demonstrate eligibility for FHRF proceeds
as defined by the ATO and evidence of Animal Ethics approval before projects can be
funded. Also, applicants will be asked as to whether there is any anticipated
commercial spin off to any research funded by the FHRF. Successful grant recipients
will be required to prepare regular written progress reports as well as a final
report for the FHRF. The FHRF must be acknowledged on all publications arising
from FHRF funded research. A copy of all publications arising from funded proposals
should be submitted to FHRF at the time of submission for publication.

ALLOCATION OF FUNDS:
Depending on the availability of finances the FHRF will
call for relevant research proposals from scientists, veterinarians and post
graduate students from eligible Universities and Research Institutes for assessment
by expert peer reviewers. In addition nominated funds raised by breeders, fanciers
and cat lovers may be stipulated for specific projects including breed-related
problems such as amyloidosis, polycystic kidney disease or pyruvate kinase deficiency. Other suggested areas
requiring improved or preventative health care include lymphosarcoma, breast cancer,
asthma, arthritis, tooth and gum disease, diabetes, pyometra, hyperthyroidism, kidney,
heart, liver failure,fertility,skin conditions,eye problems,
behavioural problems and immunisation protocols. It should be noted that because of the recent advances
in the various genome projects that demonstrate significant genetic similarity
between species, funds may be allocated to researchers who have a track record
investigating diseases of humans or other animal species that are relevant to cats.
