We are a philanthropic organization dedicated to finding a cure for cancer by funding comparative oncology the study of naturally-occurring cancers in pets and people. We do not fund research that induces cancer in pets.ACF Comparative Oncology Research Awards are presented annually to comparative oncology teams in the early-phase of research development when funding is critical. Chosen by a scientific advisory committee for recommendation to the executive board, researchers whose work holds promise for near-term translation to the veterinary oncologic clinical setting, a novel treatment in development, or whose work needs initial support to attract additional grant awards are emphasized.The Canine Cancer Genome Project sponsored by The Blue Buffalo Foundation and Animal Cancer Foundation seeks to genetically map the seven most common canine cancers and to place the dataset in the public domain for use by all cancer researchers. Designed to mirror The Human Cancer Genome Atlas, the canine genetic information will allow researchers to draw comparisons across species, potentially discovering additional personalized genetic targets for treatments and improving existing therapeutics. We are three quarters of the way to our funding goal and need your help to complete the project.Expertise: Comparative oncology research and clinical trials, Veterinary Oncology, Cancer.
