The National Canine Cancer Foundation
we are years, not decades, away from cures
and new treatments for canine Cancer.
We believe that the science is there waiting for us.
Canine Cancer affects one out of every three dogs. Of those, over half of them will die of cancer. The National Canine Cancer Foundation is asking for your help so we can improve those statistics. In 2004, the mapping of the dog genome was completed. This effort was a collaboration of many individuals at many institutions and was funded by the National Institutes of Health. This was done at a cost of over $30 Million. Why did they do this? Because they recognized that cures for cancer in people may come through studying and learning to treat this disease in dogs. The NCCF believes that through our efforts and others, research into canine cancer will also bring about new diagnostic methods, treatments, and cures for human cancers.
We are closer than ever to a cure, now is the time to beat this cancer! If we all work together, WE ARE THE CURE
The National Canine Cancer Foundation is a nationwide, contribution funded, 501 (c)(3) non-profit corporation dedicated to eliminating Cancer as a major health issue in dogs by funding grants directly to Cancer researchers who are working to save lives, find cures, better treatments and accurate, cost effective diagnostic methods in dealing with canine Cancer.
The purpose of the Foundation’s Research Grant Program is to encourage and provide grant support for basic, pre-clinical and clinical research in high impact and innovative cancer research, which is intended to develop innovative approaches to a cure, treatment, diagnosis or prevention of cancers in dogs. The program fosters collaboration between basic and clinical scientists with the intent of enhancing the transfer of basic research findings to clinical usefulness.
