Collie Health Foundation Thyroid Grants
The Foundation has funded a total of $26,344 toward Thyroid research through 2005.
Each year the Collie Health Foundation sends a grant solicitation to each of the accredited Veterinary Colleges in the United States. We ask for proposals for research projects to fund that are Collie related. In addition, we work very closely with the AKC Canine Health Foundation funding grants that are researching health problems that can affect Collies.
