Each year the deadline for grants is the first business day of October. Failure to observe any and all instructions may result in automatic disqualification.

The signature pages (found on the last portion of the application before submitting) must be signed and sent to our office per online instructions by the deadline as well as the electronic transmission of the application.

All applicants must comply with the following regulations pertaining to animal use in the proposed study.

The following statement was adopted by the Board of Directors of the Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation, Inc., on November 11, 1990, and therefore is the official policy of the Foundation:

"The Grayson-Jockey Club Research Foundation's official policy on humane care and use of vertebrate animals shall require that grant applications for research employing such animals be accompanied by a letter stating that the INSTITUTIONAL ANIMAL CARE AND USE COMMITTEE has reviewed and approved the research project for funding as requested. Grant proposals may be reviewed prior to receipt of such statement by the Foundation's Research Advisory Committee, but funds will not be awarded without a letter signed by an individual qualified and authorized to represent the application institution."
