Researchers will develop a first-of-its-kind cell culture system to test a promising new drug to protect bats against white-nose syndrome, a serious and highly fatal fungal infection.

Researchers will develop an easy-to-use, rapid detection field test for chytrid, an infectious and often deadly disease in frogs and other amphibians.

Researchers will explore the use of a specific protein in the development of drug therapy for African horse sickness, a serious, and often fatal hemorrhagic disease of horses, mules and donkeys.

Researchers will use remote video and heart rate monitoring to assess discomfort behaviors before and after epidural pain treatment to improve patient care and pain management.

Researchers will develop genetic rescue tools to address inbreeding and susceptibility to sylvatic plague in the black-footed ferret.

Researchers will use data from the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study to analyze disease prevalence in the cohort, focusing on potential patterns associated with cancer in young dogs.

Using data from the Golden Retriever Lifetime Study, researchers will determine if feeding high protein diets to golden retrievers is associated with increased aggressive behaviors in dogs.

Researchers will standardize and improve organization of data collected from 3,000+ dogs enrolled in Morris Animal Foundation’s Golden Retriever Lifetime Study to expand access and research opportunities.
