Propose to collect DNA from affected Collies and family members for use in linkage studies. Our goal is to identify a marker, or markers, that can be used by breeders to identify dogs that are predisposed to develop DM. We also aim to identify the gene(s) that may be causative for DM. Our contribution: $45,000 from AKC CHF donor advised fund, matched 100% by AKC CHF |

Collie Health Foundation Grants Overview
Since the inception of the Collie Health Foundation, $637.664 has been given in support of various Collie Health related projects. The Grants Committee of the Collie Health Foundation functions as a gatherer and screener of prospective grants that the Board of Directors decides whether to fund. The Chairman of the Committee is appointed by the President and the Committee is appointed jointly by the President and the Committee Chairman. Currently, Stephen Johns is the Committee Chairman and the Committee consists of Cindi Bossart, DVM. William Brokken, MD, David Hansen, DVM, Gayle Kaye, and Heidi Mendez.
The Grants review and award process operates on an annual cycle. Solicitations for grant requests are sent out in September of each year with a request that the responses be returned to the Committee Chairman by December. Between January and June, the grant requests are reviewed by the Grants Committee and any grant requests that the Committee approves are sent to the Board of Directors for approval to fund. The grants that the Board approves for funding are funded by the Treasurer by the end of June.
In addition to our own grant solicitation process, we work closely with the American Kennel Club Canine Health Foundation. Some of the grants the Board approves for funding come to us through the Canine Health Foundation. Those grants undergo the same review process by the Grants Committee as the ones that come to us directly from the researchers.
