Collie Health Foundation Epilepsy/Seizure Disorder Grants

The Foundation has funded a total of $35,420 toward Epilepsy/Seizure Disorder research through 2006.
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.
