For Researchers
Opportunities
The Canine Cancer Alliance seeks to advance research in cancer prevention, early detection, and new therapies. We are particularly interested in creating safe and effective combination immunotherapy treatments with the potential of becoming widely accessible to veterinary patients. Additional information can be found on our Research FAQ page.
Application Process
Step 1: Email
Please email us at info@ccralliance.org with a short description of the proposed project and, optionally, any publications providing background and context. We will respond within 5 business days.
Step 2: A call
A Zoom call will be scheduled. Based on the discussion on the call, CCA will invite you to submit a proposal.
Step 3: Proposal submission and review
We strive to complete the new project approval process (from the initial email to proposal review completion and funding decision) within 60 days.
If you have any questions, please email info@ccralliance.org.
Important Considerations
Animal Involvement in Research: While we do support clinical studies involving canine cancer patients, we do not support research involving laboratory (colony) dogs. Appropriate IACUC or equivalent approval and consent form review are also expected before the study's launch.
Indirect Cost Policy: Canine Cancer Alliance is committed to maximizing the impact of every research dollar. CCA grants and charitable gifts do not support indirect costs, overhead, or administrative fees. For sponsored research agreements or other contracted research, where institutional requirements may necessitate indirect costs, CCA may allow indirect costs of up to 8% of total direct costs. Any indirect costs must be included within the approved total project budget and agreed upon by CCA in advance. CCA does not pay an institution's standard negotiated federal indirect cost or F&A rate.
