Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation — Research Grants

About this program

Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing equine health, provides competitive research grants and Research Career Development Awards funded by donations and fundraising events to support significant veterinary research worldwide. Current application pathways include the general research grant (online application; deadline for 2026 funding: October 1, 2026 at 5 PM EST) and two Research Career Development Awards (Storm Cat and Elaine & Bertram Klein; application deadline November 2, 2026). Eligible applicants are researchers based at universities or research institutions regardless of institutional affiliation, as the Foundation funds projects on merit rather than by university alliance. The Foundation directs funds to research costs and does not pay principal investigator salaries or institutional overhead, with proposals evaluated through its online review process.
