The Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation board of directors has approved a budget of $1,100,500 to fund equine research in 2015.

The budget will fund 10 new projects, seven second-year projects, and two Career Development Awards to encourage young scientists. Also, the budget allows for a special call for more research which will be announced at a later date. The 2015 funding brings the foundation’s totals since 1983 to 322 projects at 41 universities for an aggregate of $22 million.

“Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we are able to fund every one of the projects that our Research Advisory Committee evaluated as qualifying for support,” said Edward L. Bowen, president of the foundation. “The fact that we also can reach out with a special call is a true bonus for us and, more importantly, for the horse.”
