EveryCat Health Foundation Cap-K Grant
This Grant is currently open for Proposals. Please read the submission information carefully.
The deadline for receipt of applications through the portal is Monday, April 17, 2023 (11:59 pm EDT).
• The maximum grant amount is $50,000 for most grants and up to $100,000 for prospective
randomized controlled dietary trial grants.
• Grant awards will be announced by early September 2023.
• Projects should have discrete and achievable goals within their stated budget and up to a two-year
timeframe (see exception below.) They must demonstrate their relevance regarding the topic of interest and their benefit to improving feline health, particularly regarding domestic cats.
• Grants specifically investigating the effect of various levels of dietary phosphorous on the
progression of kidney disease in cats using prospective randomized controlled trials may be
funded up to $100,000 for up to four years. A summary of prior work with significant results
should be included with these proposals. These studies should ideally include at least one
qualified nutritionist as an investigator and must include the nutritional analysis of all study and
control diets.
• All nutritional studies must include a complete description of proposed diets, including anticipated
levels of key nutrients (as defined within the study hypothesis) and an evaluation of the diet and
proposal by a qualified nutritionist.
• Biomarker assays will be expected to adhere to current sound practices of assay development
including phases of assay optimization, qualification, and validation appropriate for the stage of
assay development. For fully developed assays, the assay development plan and any preliminary
data should be included in the proposal along with clear endpoints for acceptance and sufficient
design to ensure that the endpoint measured is the one targeted by the assay.
• Applicants are encouraged to consult with a statistician and must demonstrate they have
considered this aspect in the experimental approach.
• Applicants may be faculty or practicing veterinarians, faculty researchers, post-doctoral fellows,
veterinary residents, PhD candidates, or veterinary students. Research collaborations across various
scientific disciplines are encouraged.
• EveryCat Health Foundation requires the acceptance of our Grant Agreement to release funding.
