Thanks to a generous gift from an anonymous donor, MAF is announcing this request for
proposals for research projects to develop methods (research, education) for preventing or
treating infectious diseases that result in negative outcomes for shelter cats. We are particularly
interested in proposals investigating feline infectious peritonitis (FIP) and in projects containing
a training component that will produce future scientists in animal health/welfare research.
Morris Animal Foundation (MAF) has funded feline health studies since 1950, and we are
working to significantly increase our funding for projects that will improve cat health and train
new feline researchers.
