Morris Animal Foundation - Mitochondrial Function and Chronic Disease

Applications are invited for proposals investigating interactions between mitochondrial function and chronic diseases in dogs or cats. Successful applications will focus on connecting mitochondrial energy function at the cellular level with systemic wellness. Wellness should be interpreted broadly, including behavior, energy, appetite, and emotional states. Ideal applications will involve collaborations between biomedical research groups established in mitochondrial biology and disease and veterinary researchers/clinicians. Approaches must be noninvasive, and laboratory animal models are not of interest. 

Applicants will have a record of their research expertise demonstrated through peer-reviewed publications. A maximum of one application as principal investigator (PI) or co-investigator in response to this RFP is permitted.
