ACF focuses on furthering research in comparative oncology, which is the study of cancers that occur similarly in both companion animals and humans.To fund and develop research focused on the biologic similarity of cancer in pets and people that will expedite therapeutic and preventative benefits for both. Also, to inform the public and the scientific community about the biologic similarity of cancer in pets and people, and to communicate the ways in which comparative oncology will accelerate the treatment, prevention and ultimate eradication of cancer.The Canine Cancer Genome Project (CCGP) sponsored by Blue Buffalo Foundation and Animal Cancer Foundation seeks to map the seven most common canine cancer tumors and to place the datasets in the public domain for use by all cancer researchers. 7 7 1 15 0 687497 282555 0 9349 12844 4426 696846 299825 48262 52500 0 69255 79661 0 70957 88701 122589 206218 254750 490628 45075 894516 897044 55084 10793 839432 886251 ACF DEVELOPS AND SUPPORTS RESEARCH THAT ADVANCES THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF CANCER FOR PEOPLE AND PETS.

The scientific advisory council ("SAC"), composed of leaders in veterinary and human oncology, met and formulated request for Letters of Intent which was disseminated to a list they developed of the most qualified laboratories to conduct genetic sequencing. The council reviewed the letters of intent and is in the process as of 10-18 of asking the top two qualifying laboratories to expand their letters of intent into proposals and to participate in an interview process. ACF has received $400,000 from the Blue Buffalo Foundation at the inception of the program. ACF is fundraising toward match goals. A second payment from BBF will trigger when the RFP is awarded.ACF Comparative Oncology Grant Award(s) are annual research grants of $50,000 for comparative oncology research that provides near-term benefit to pets with cancer while offering possibilities of translation to human cancer research and treatment. RFPs are opened in October of each year with proposals due in January of the following year. A scientific advisory council rates the proposals against the criteria in the RFP, the SAC meets via telephone conference to discuss the ratings and merits of competitively scored proposals, the SAC recommends a final award recipient to the board of directors, who approve the award. A grant agreement is made between ACF and the awarded institution and Primary Investigator prior to award being made.ACF Comparative Oncology Awareness Campaigns (various) provide information to the general public about the incidences of pet cancer, the similarities of human and canine cancer, the work being done in comparative oncology, and the need to develop science research in this area.
