The American Association of Equine Practitioners (AAEP) Foundation is accepting pre-proposals for research projects addressing supporting limb laminitis until Jan. 15, 2016.

Accepted one- and multi-year projects will share, in total, grant funding of up to $170,000, thanks in part to funds generated from an initial challenge grant from Starlight Racing partners in 2014 in memory of their Grade II winner Intense Holiday. The 3-year-old Thoroughbred colt succumbed to laminitis less than six weeks after competing in the 2014 Kentucky Derby.

The research project, or proposed portion of a project for which funding is requested, must be completed within three years. Multi-year projects are invited but cannot exceed the total budget allocation. Projects with smaller budgets are invited to submit. Major equipment purchases will not be funded by the AAEP Foundation.

The AAEP is sensitive to humane use of horses for research and favors clinical studies for laminitis research. All prospective research studies funded by the AAEP Foundation must receive full approval by the facility’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee or equivalent research review entity
